bounce
     
        1. (Perhaps by analogy to a bouncing check) An {electronic
        mail} message that is undeliverable and returns an error
        notification (a "{bounce message}") to the sender is said to

        volleyball court on the front lawn.  From 5 PM to 7 PM was the
        scheduled maintenance time for the computer, so every
        afternoon at 5 would come over the intercom the cry: "Now hear
        this: bounce, bounce!", followed by Brian McCune loudly
        bouncing a volleyball on the floor outside the offices of
        known volleyballers.
     
        3. To engage in sexual intercourse; probably from the
