Please don't. There are two unrelated meanings of the word "bounced" here, and you are conflating them.
Meaning 1: You send a message, which is distributed to 1000 people. The message is not deliverable to all of those people, and the undeliverable messages bounce back to the mailer, where the fact of their having bounced is recorded.
Meaning 2: You are removed from a mailing list. "Bounced from the LUG". This is not common usage, but people do say it. The mail software will never use the word "bounce" to mean this. It will always say "unsubscribe".
