I hereby proclaim that all good Dopers (or me) will now use the word “bonzer” or “bonza” if one wants to rock it gangsta stylin’ instead of “awesome”.
this is deemed right and true by all to whom eradicting tired slang is vital.

Well…if you INSIST on accuracy…\ so be it.
I am a white, suburban, mom–I have trouble sounding like a hip-hop bling-blingin’ gangsta rocker (or whatever).
Did you see My Big Fat Greek Wedding? Ian’s mom is almost me–I’m taller.

Well damn. I thought I was about to find someone nearly as left-wing as I am. No offense meant, of course.
