Etymonline
Word Origin & History
bouncer
mid-19c. in various senses, noun derivative of bounce (v.). Earliest attested is "boaster, bully, braggart" (1833); also "large example of its kind" (1842); "enforcer of order in a bar or saloon" (1865, Amer. Eng., originally colloquial).
EXPAND" 'The Bouncer' is merely the English 'chucker out'. When liberty verges on license and gaiety on wanton delirium, the Bouncer selects the gayest of the gay, and -- bounces him!" ["London Daily News," July 26, 1883]
