What does BUNDY mean in Scrabble?
noun
Australianinformal
A mechanical clock at a workplace used to record the exact time an employee starts and finishes work.
The name bundy grew out of the Bundy Time Recorder, a brand of punch clock once common in factories and offices, and the brand name slid into ordinary speech the way Xerox once stood for any photocopier. As a verb, to bundy on or bundy off means to clock in or clock out with such a device. A worker running late worries about the bundy long before thinking about the actual job.
