rubber check
Bank account bouncer
A rubber check is one that bounces—that is, a check written on an account with insufficient funds to cover it.
The metaphor suggests the check bounces back to the person who tried to deposit it, like a rubber ball.
Writing rubber checks can result in bank fees, criminal charges, or both.
The landlord threatened eviction after receiving yet another rubber check.
