Bouncing Betty

A landmine used in the Vietnam War, considered one of the deadliest weapons on the battlefield, and an A-grade mine. Invented by Germany, when detonated would shoot up into the air a couple feet and explode spraying shrapnel in all directions designed to defend against infantry rather than heavy vehicles.

Watch your step as we advance, there are Bouncing Bettys scattered throughout these fields.

bounce back

The raw, relentless act of rebuilding yourself after life has shattered you. It’s staring down the wreckage of your life and then busting your ass every day to rebuild it. It's digging deep. It's going from nowhere to somewhere, powered by your own damn self. The bounce back is when you quit digging the hole and claw your way out of it. It’s the quiet war you wage every day — not for applause, but to prove you never needed them anyway.

Respect the bounce back.

"Despite how bad things got , she was determined to bounce back like her life depended on it. Because it did.

Pawlenty Bounce

Non-existent rise in one's popularity when a person's endorsement is presumed to help, named for the lack of a positive impact Gov. Tim Pawlenty's endorsement provided Gov. Mitt Romney in the 2012 Minnesota Republican caucus.

"I can't believe they didn't pick me for social chair, bro. Last year's president totally had my back."

"Yeah, that sucks, man--you got the Pawlenty Bounce."
