What Does 'Bouncing On It' Mean?

"Bouncing on it" is a slang term with a spicy meaning. In the context of the memes, "bouncing on it" refers to the act of having coitus with someone in the riding or "cowgirl" position, meaning on top. With this in consideration, "bouncing on it" is a way of describing what it might look like when a person is having coitus in this specific way.

The term has been used online for years but has seen a significant increase in use in 2024. In September, X users started using the term in a series of memes following the phrasal template "bouncing on it in a way X," with X being a funny and nonsensical way that someone could, theoretically, bounce on it.
