back of one's mind

noun back of one's head

  1. One's remote memory. It was authorised by an Act of May 5, 1837, and, although the estimates of its future prosperity were based on traffic already passing between the two towns, it seems likely that, even in 1837, the promoters had the possible extension of the railway system into Scotland at the back of their minds.
  2. The supposed location of low-importance plans within the brain. Wallpapering the bedroom has been at the back of my mind for some time now.
