'Back chat' is an expression I've only ever heard used among West Indians. If you heard it from a WIndies person it means 'to talk back'. If someone (especially a child), responds to something an adult or authority figure says with a snide or rude comment, then they're 'giving back chat.' Being warned not to give back chat was usually a precursor for a pop in the mouth for disrespect.
