bouncing betty

A type of landmine that waits for about five seconds after being set off, then flies up in the air and explodes at crotch or head level. Source of the myth that you can just stay on a landmine and be safe, although in real life trying that would just make your leg explode.
If you trip a bouncing betty, the best plan is probably to duck.

Cramer bounce

When Jim Cramer highly recommends a stock on "mad money" and it goes up significantly the next day.
While much can be attributed to his fine acumen, his popularity can not be factored out of the resulting uptick.

Marilla Bounce

The unpredictable bounce produced by the underclass tennis surface at the Marrila tennis courts. Known for many unforced errors and balls netted. Also the main cause for frustration and anger directed towards why on earth you can't get the goddman ball over the net when all of your mechanics are working for you.
Dude, why do you keep netting those balls? - It's not me its the Marilla Bounce.
