bonafides 

'The goods.' 'The real deal.' No bullshit.'

This term is often used in, but is not restricted
to, legal endeavors. Because of its Latin origin,
the term's connotation is one of 'seriousness'.

The term mixes identity and credentials with
honesty and ability to get the job done to
create a highly favorable impression.
She walked into the room, forthwith handed
the committee chair her bonafides, a resumé
she had worked on for hours in anticipation
of this moment of expression/impression.

Bonafide7389 

A hopeless and morally corrupt user on the ESPN College Football message board who, though owned on a daily basis, continues to post as if he is superior to the rest of the world. He is now famous for "The Change." An event in which he pondered why Les Miles didn't take a delay of game and kick the chip shot FG with 1 second left in the game and no timeouts. He then proceeded to change the topic of the thread from "Why didn't they take the delay of game" to "GO GATORS" then to "Colt McCoy ZEROOOOOO Big 12 Titles."
Quote from Bonafide7389: Simpletons, why didn't LSU just take the delay of game? It would have still been a chip shot FG.
