Stephanie said she was going to fight the parking ticket, but she ended up Schumering once again.

A modern legal term, _Bona Dude_ means "in good dude" in a cross of Legal Latin and Modern English. The term stresses the entirely "good dude" nature of the person to whom it refers. A "bona dude" is sincere and earnest about being a good dude.
