A back order is a service where a company will attempt to register a domain for you the moment it becomes available. In the case of zzsex.com, it was caught by Enom's ClubDrop. Usually, you would have to let them know of your interest in the name but they also grab almost every name and offer it in a public auction for a few days or less. You may be able to register this one manually if you try it again right now, or in a few days.
Snapnames, Pool, and ClubDrop are the most successfull backorder services currently and neither of them restrict it to first-come, first-served. If the name is any good, one of the three is probably going to get it before GoDaddy does, and if not it will be very rare that GD does get it.
