Yeah, what is that? I assume a quick back forward?

It's the Gootecks shimmy where they would first go in as in to appear to do a throw then move backwards, the other guy whiffs their throw and then you whiff punish that. Gootecks did this with Balrog before people discovered tech OSes and back dash options to escape these basic mix ups.

It's really strong in SFV because throws are really strong and back dashes are weak. So people are always wary of the throws a u send that's how you blow up someone trying to tech a throw on wake up.

primary usage is to make it look like you're going to throw, but then tag them with an attack when they try to tech

Bait the grab (by making them think you'll grab so they try to tech) and punish them while they are recovering from the whiffed grab animation.

Oh yeah! I saw a video where Gootecks was talking about his shimmy.

Ok yeah, makes sense.

I'm guessing that lets you decide if your gonna attack from afar, back out more, or dart in quick for a grab?

It's not just moving back and forth quickly. You walk in which makes it look like you're going for an attack/throw. You can either stop or back off just out of range and the opponent will whiff a move which will allow you to whiff punish.
