cornerbounce (kôrnrbouns)

v. cornerbounced, cornerbounc·ing, cornerbounc·es v.intr. 1. To impact precisely into a corner to cause a bounce in the exact reverse direcion of travel. n. 1. A rebound in the exact plane of travel caused from precise corner impact. Origin: The exact date of when humans coined the term "cornerbounce" is unknown, yet may date back centuries. Whether it is the impact of a ball, a rock, or other object a cornerbounce is a physical and conceptual possibility. A recent surge of popularity has arisen at the advent of the digital video disc player (DVD) in the twentieth century. Most DVD players feature a "screen-saver" feature which randomly refreshes pixels on the display monitor which the DVD outputs to. In the screen-saver's intent to prevent imprint damage to a television monitor, most algorithms used to generate the motion often display a "DVD" logo which moves across the screen and bounces off the walls of the screen's rectancular shape. Sceen-savers are also used in a variety of other devices such as: personal computers and mobile handheld devices. A common human entertainment attraction to the screen-saver has been observed. Many people believe the moving logo in screen savers actually makes an exact cornerbounce at times. Most entertaining, however, are the arguments which arise regarding substantiating whether a cornerbounce has actually occurred. Regardless of the dispute, the cornerbounce is a real phenomenon and quite entertaining.
