bouncers
Venue entrance enforcers
Bouncers are security personnel stationed at bars, clubs, or other venues to control entry and maintain order.
They check IDs, enforce dress codes, and remove disruptive patrons—often physically, hence the name.
The bouncers wouldn't let us in without ID.
In cricket, a bouncer is a short-pitched ball that rises sharply toward the batsman's head.
