BonSoc
A member of a bonfire society — a group of self-proclaimed “pyro enthusiasts” who treat safety regulations as optional and health & safety officers as natural enemies. BonSocs are notorious for their reckless use of fireworks, explosive devices, and other pyrotechnic “toys” in places no sane person would consider safe — like crowded streets, pubs, and occasionally, their own back gardens.
Typical Behaviour:
• Launching fireworks in random directions while shouting, “It’s tradition!”
• Turning peaceful local events into scenes from Mad Max.
• Wearing ridiculous striped jumpers, neckerchiefs, and creepy face masks — allegedly to “honour history,” but really to avoid being identified by the fire brigade.
• Possessing the unique ability to transform a harmless sparkler display into a full-scale emergency incident.

“Mate, don’t go near that field tonight — it’s full of BonSocs testing their ‘homemade fireworks.“
