bounceable

(intransitive) To change the direction of motion after hitting an obstacle.

When your attempt to make a clean exit goes completely wrong — you announce you're leaving but get pulled back into conversation, your goodbye tour extends by 45 minutes, or you dramatically bounce only to realize you left your phone and have to return. A bounce fail is universally relatable and deeply embarrassing in proportion to how confidently you announced the bounce. The more theatrical the original exit, the worse the failure. It's the universe's way of keeping you humble about your own social timing.

(slang, of a person) overpraising somebody or something.

(Internet) An automated response to an email, indicating that it could not be delivered.

(transitive) To cause to move quickly up and down, or back and forth, once or repeatedly.
