"Fall back" is a sort of mnemonic designed to remember the time changes that come with Daylight Savings in autumn. In fall, one turns back their clocks one hour -- analogous to "falling back" one hour. Compare this to spring where the clocks "spring ahead" one hour.

The answer would depend on whether it is during the observation of daylight savings time or not. When the clocks spring ahead 1 hour in the spring, you begin to use PDT (Pacific Daylight Time).

Is Arizona pacific time or mountain standard time?

The majority of Arizona does not observe Daylight Savings Time and so they would remain on Mountain Standard Time year around. However, there are some areas of Northeastern Arizona that do change to Daylight Savings Time and that would make them one hour ahead of the rest of Arizona for that summer season until they change back in the fall and they are then together with the rest of the state again, back on Mountain Standard Time.
