That Question has been Answered by the ROBLOX Wiki. http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Debounce It's something that prevents a function from firing multiple times on execution basically. TheeDeathCaster 2368 — 10y

Debounce will prevent a function from firing rapidly.
Let me give you an example of debounce:
1 | debounce = false --It can be named anything. |
2 | game.Workspace.SomeRandomPart.Touched:connect(function() |
3 | if debounce == true then return end -- Ends function if debounce is true. |
4 | print("This script includes debounce. Did you know that?") |
5 | wait(2) -- How long until you are allowed to fire this function again |
6 | end |
7 | end) |
