Debounce is to prevent multiple signals from being sent to trigger the same function where there would be a problem if the function was called again before it finished.

You can found the best detailed guide at the ROBLOX wiki: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Debounce
In my words, it is simply a set in which when you have a event or something, such as a regen button it activates and will stop the regen button from running again until the regen process or time cooldown is done. So for example:
01 | debounce = false |
02 |
03 | function onTest() |
04 | if not debounce then debounce = true |
05 | print("This line will only appear once debounce is false") |
06 | wait(3) |
07 | debounce = false |
08 | print("This function can be executed again") |
09 | end |
10 | end |
