A nylon castle that turns gravity into a suggestion and toddlers into projectiles.
means An inflatable enclosure, usually shaped like a castle, that children jump and bounce around inside at parties and fairs.
from A plain compound of "bouncy" (from "bounce," a Middle English word likely imitative of the sound and motion of something springing back) and "house." The thing itself is a modern invention: inflatable play structures emerged in the mid-20th century and spread widely from there, picking up a flock of names — "bounce house," "bouncy castle," "moonwalk," "jumping castle" — that vary by region rather than by any single coiner.
