...over here in construction we use "backfill" rather than "fill that hole you just dug back up". I don't mind it in that context at all.
My dad had a summer job 'backfilling' motorway bridges - filling in by hand (well shovel) the gap left Inbetween the road and the new bridge. So I assumed in meant filling in a gap left by a bigger piece of work.

I just discovered this thread and I really hate this one. If anything "breakout area" only applies to when I'm outside my place of work when I shouldn't be.
