Bouncing me around is not appropriate (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unbecoming

'not appropriate' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bouncing me around' is the wordplay.
'around' is an anagram indicator.
'bouncing'+'me'='bouncingme'
'bouncingme' anagrammed gives 'UNBECOMING'.

'is' is the link.

(Other definitions for unbecoming that I've seen before include "failing to develop?" , "indecorous" , "inappropriate" , "Not flattering or fitting" , "not appropriate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
