A person who is bumped or displaced, particularly in airline terminology when a passenger is denied boarding due to overbooking.
From 'bump' (to remove or displace) plus '-ee' suffix indicating the recipient of an action (like 'employee,' 'refugee', 'trustee').
Airlines created this term when overbooking became standard—'bumpee' is corporate language that makes being involuntarily removed from a plane sound clinical and fair.
