A way of saying "Good for you!" or "Kudos." Also see bully.
It wasn't always used in a sarcastic tone, but considering how it's changed over time, people do use it in that way.
"In older times, the word 'bully' also had a couple of positive meanings, the only trace of which is left in the expression 'bully for you,' which is still occasionally used in British English - I can't comment on US English. I've mostly heard it used in a derisive or sarcastic way, along the lines of 'Well then, aren't *YOU* the clever one?'"

A musician graced with the blessing of being picked for bassoon in their high school band, or someone with knowledge enough of this profoundly wonderful instrument to choose it.
Bassoonists tend to be a little on the nutty side. When approaching a bassoonist right after a rehearsal, be very cautious until you know if the piece was good or not. If it was good, run, or you will never hear the end of it. If it was very bad, run, or you may detect bad vibes unintentionally directed at you. If it was a trombone, baritone, or tuba part, run. Just run.
