What does BUNGEE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A long stretchy cord of rubber strands in a woven cover, used for securing loads or for jumping from heights.
The cord stretches to several times its length and then pulls back, which is why it holds luggage firmly on a roof rack and why it can catch a person falling from a bridge. The word is thought to have begun as British slang for india rubber, and it only became famous worldwide when bungee jumping took off in the 1980s. Alternative spellings such as bungy and bungie are also seen.
