Rubbish. They are almost interchangeable and some dictionaries even define one as the other.Originally posted by DirtyDog View PostWhile you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

That may be true now, but etymologically speaking the two are distinct.Originally posted by doodab View Post
A bounder is someone who behaves badly but knows no better, because they have crossed the boundary of class. A cad is someone who behaves badly but should know better because they are of an upper class who should behave better.
BounderA cad used to be a jumped-up member of the lower classes who was guilty of behaving as if he didn't know that his lowly origin made him unfit for having sexual relationships with well-bred women. [Anthony West, "H.G. Wells: Aspects of a Life," 1984]
