What do you all think?

Balon (bay-lon)
v, intransitive: to leave in a lurch.
example: Brian said he'd bring the beer, but he'll probably balon us again.

I assumed it was just the French for 'ball'. I think I've always subconsciously pictured you as a French Canadian who liked sports because of that. Sorry.
