Found on Facebook: a group dedicated to the study of Bonological Semiotics:
A cooperative (but edited) attempt to make sense of the modern world with a new lexicon of misunderstanding… a time where language has been degraded to the point of BONOPHONICS (words that sound as if they carry meaning, but really just take up valuable space).
Some examples:
Bonologue: One know-it-all telling everyone else in the world what to do. Submitted by Sabian Wilde.
Bonoculture: A phrase coined by political conservationists in the early 21st Century to describe their fear of living in a homogenized, politically correct world. Submitted by Sabian Wilde.
Bonophilia: For the love of Bono, usually the practice of self-loving. Submitted by Sabian Wilde.
Bonolith: A structure, usually the world’s largest television screen, placed at the most prominent and visible point of the bonstrosity, to display an image of Bono. Submitted by David Paris.
Bonoholic: A medical condition wherein the patient is addicted to being drunk on their own delusions of grandeur. Submitted by Rewi Lyall.
I think I have Bonophobia…
