Default Re: rebound boy

Meaning: A rebound boy would be a person (boy) that a girlfriend uses. For example. A girl is a couple with another boy. Another boy comes along so she dumps him for the other dude. When that dude dumps her she will go back to the boy she started off with.

Synonym: safetynet

Example: He is my rebound boy for whenever I break up with another guy
