Cheekboner

(noun)

Metaphorical phrase; concieved, most likely, by proud fan-girling Tumblr users, to express a powerful sexual reaction towards a display of devastatingly impressive bone structure - with particular emphasis and interest to the pronounced, and often vertiginious, zygomatic bone cheekbone area.
'Benedict Cumberbatch as 'Sherlock' gives me a major cheekboner' *ovaries explode*

'I dreamt about Cillian Murphy last night and woke up with a cheekboner'

'Johnny Depp in 'Cry Baby'. Cheekboner, anybody?! *sharp inhale of breath*

Cheekbone polishing parties

What most people think Benedict Cumberbatch, Matt Smith and Tom Hiddleston have together, due to their well-defined cheekbones. (NOTE: Another post on Tumblr said that Colin Morgan joins them as a member of the Fellowship of Cheekbones, but that is not the focus of this definition.)

The entire thing began when someone asked Benedict during his Reddit AMA "Do you, Matt Smith and Tom Hiddleston have cheekbone polishing parties?"
Benedict's response was "We like nothing better than buffing our Zygoma. And imagining a horny time traveling long overcoat purple scarf wearing super sleuth nordic legend f**k fantasy. Get to work on that, internet."

This promptly set everyone trying to draw out what they thought the parties looked like and generally the spontaneous combustion of the Internet. Tom Hiddleston's reaction was epic as well, but II'm not going to bore you with it. You can look it up yourself. Ehehehe.
person 1: Damn, those cheekbones look sharper by the day. HIDDLESTON STOP FREAKING RUINING MY LIFE WITH YOUR CHEEKBONES! YOU TOO CUMBERBATCH! SMITH STOP LOOKING SO INNOCENT, YOU'RE GUILTY TOO! (screaming at pictures)

me: ...of course they ruin your life with just their cheekbones, I've experienced it too. Judging by these pictures, they've just had some more cheekbone polishing parties.

me: <wonders if *koffkoff* anything else happened...> <evil grin>
