Debounce function returns a function that as long as it continues to be invoked, will not be triggered. The function will be called after it stops being called for N milliseconds.

A debounce is a cousin of the throttle, and they both improve the performance of web applications. A debounce is utilized when you only care about the final state. For example, waiting until a user stops typing to fetch typeahead search results.

// Code from https://davidwalsh.name/javascript-debounce-function

var myEfficientFn = debounce(function() {
	// All the taxing stuff you do
}, 250);

window.addEventListener('resize', myEfficientFn); 

The myEfficientFn will not be called until 250 milliseconds has passed since the last resize event.

overflow-wrap (word-wrap) and word-break behave very similarly and can be used to solve similar problems. word-break is best used with non-English content that require specific word-breaking rules. overflow-wrap can be used regardless of language used.
