A pawn can be both passed and isolated at the same time. It can't be both isolated and backwards, though.
Aren't all isolated pawns backward pawns? An isolated pawn is a pawn without pawns on the ranks directly adjacent to it. A backwards pawn is a pawn that cannot be defended by another pawn without it (first pawn, backward) advancing or another pawn capturing to get beside it.
Or am I mistaken in some way?
Maybe. I think backward pawns are connect to another pawn, though. Wikipedia gives this: "In chess, a backward pawn is a pawn that is behind the pawns of the same color on the adjacent files and that cannot be advanced without loss of material, usually the backward pawn itself."

You yell "touchdown!" and add six points to your scoresheet when you reach the 8th rank with your pawn.

624. You think double-check is when you are in check but before responding you put your opponent in check so that he must respond first (can continue to triple-check, quadruple-check, etc.).
625. You don't know what Los Alamos is.
626. You think the king is unable to capture pieces.
