Yeah - That's a pet-peeve of mine: frontend and backend are entirely contextual. Some people would say backend about server side code. Other might split the server side code into two. Some times your application uses web services; Then people often refer to those as being backend for your application. Without further qualification, the words are meaningless.
I met with an angel once who seemed to feel frontend meant suits and backend meant coders. I completely misunderstood his question because I was thinking of the coders' definition of the terms.
