backfireに注目しました。『ジーニアス英和辞典』(第五版,大修館)によると、「さか火をおこす」、「(計画などが)不測の結果になる」や「屁をこく」とのことでした。Oxford Dictionary of English(Second Edition Reserved, Oxford University Press)には、 定義の一つに “(of a plan or action) have an opposite and undesirable effect to what was intended”が載っておりました。以上から文脈では裏目に出るといった意味で用いられていると思います。(Gomez)
