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."
