Subject field(s)
  • Baby and Child Care
CONT

Bouncer (or bouncy) seats generally consist of a frame made of thick metal wire, tubular metal, heavy-gauge plastic, or wood. Covered with a soft (and preferably removable and/or washable) pad that conforms to a baby's shape, bouncer seats are usually springy and bounce or rock when a baby moves to keep him relaxed and amused. The fabric seat is rounded to support a baby's still-fragile spine, and the semi-upright tilt gives him a view of the surroundings.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Baseball and Softball
DEF

A ball hit in fair territory which touches the ground before being caught and proceeds with a series of rebounds, making ti sometimes harder to catch.

OBS

A bouncing ball is called a "bouncer" if it is a bouncing ground ball; a "chopper", if a high"bouncing batted ball; a "bounder", if a high-bouncing ground ball that could rather easily be fielded. The term "bouncer" is also a synonum for "grounder" or "ground ball".

OBS

A chopper is produced by swinging the bat downward on a very sharp angle, the result being a very high bounding ball.

OBS

It is sometimes hard to distinguish between a "ground ball" or "grounder" which proceeds with hops, and a "bouncing ball", "bouncer", "bounder", or "hopper".

  • ground ball

French

Il y a parfois peu de différence entre une «balle bondissante» et un «roulant» ou une «balle frappée au sol» qui procède par bonds et qu'on appelle parfois dans les commentaires, «balle frappée par bonds».
