A term commonly used by an individual who
may be recognized in passing as a handsome young man, especially by Great Aunts and Grandmothers on
Facebook posts which include job interview headshots, photos with girlfriends from formals, and really any post where they're smiling. This subset is comprised, generally, of brothers of Sigma
Alpha Epsilon (they coined the term circa
2012, although they do not have exclusive rights of use) to denote a wild and fun
time--imagine debauchery with less intercourse, although this need not necessarily be the case, especially if there's a Bolbi on the loose.
It is believed to be derived from a chant attributed to the fraternity, in which a line recites:
"Rah
rah, bon ton, Sigma Alpha Epsilon!"
The subphrase "bon ton" has been extrapolated into bontoneous (adjective) and, to a lesser extent, bontoneity (noun).
Jacob: "Alright bois, I just finished my thesis, and I'm far too sober."
Woody: "
Don't you worry, we've got a bontoneous
time for you lined up back at the haus."
