Bandy means to toss back and forth, especially words or ideas in discussion: The candidates bandied accusations during the debate.
To bandy about a name or term is to mention it repeatedly or casually: His name has been bandied about as a possible successor.
As an adjective, bandy describes legs that curve outward at the knee—bowlegged: a bandy-legged cowboy.
