I've never heard of that before! Like many kinds of slang, it sounds far more complicated than just speaking normally! :P

There are different forms of backslang. I think the original sort just said the words backwards. So the word for god would be dog. However at school in the 1940s I learnt one variety (this was at Dover in England) where all you did was to move the first consonant in the word to the end and add ay. Ifay ooyay uderstadnay isthay ooyay illway eebat ayblay ootay ooday ittay.

Liverpool back slang involves putting 'eg' before every vowel.
'Egi gego shegoppeging.' 'I go shopping'
People used it so that the children wouldn't understand! I've always been against it. I had a school friend who would suddenly burst into French so that her mother wouldn't understand. Wouldn't have worked with my mother, since she spoke French, German and Spanish alongside our English mother tongue.

My twin sons can do it. When they were young, they used to jabber away and i didnt have a clue wot they were on about. So i banned it from the house. I beleive it is also called pig latin. It wasin a film once and the words "See you later" became Ese Uyo eterle (or something like that.). I will ask them how it works.
