Don Bonics - Defined

Ok, so any of you who have been around the band before might hear strange words and phrases being tossed around. You have no clue as to what some of these words and phrases actually mean. That's the purpose of this page to define something coined by bass player, Don Pennington. It's called "Don Bonics"


Abondonza    Actually a Badeerfism that was stolen and incorporated into Don Bonics; it means goodbye.
Badeerfish   A term dedicated to our friend Greg Clevenger synonym for Juanish (below)
Ball Bareage   When a female sees a male sans clothing in a suprise encounter.
Bleezee    Cigar (not really sure how these connect)
Bloj    Self explanitory to any red-blooded American male (this site is rated PG - if your not sure, ask Don).
Bruce   The name of the Jewel & the Rough banner. Mistakenly named for the Incredible Hulk character which Don thought was Bruce Banner. When I told him the Hulk character was really David Banner, we didn't have the heart to change the name.
Edwin   The electric fan; comes from Edwin McCain song lyrics " I'll be the greatest fan of your life"
Flurp   A mistake.
Jeds   The clamps used to secure the banner hanging behind the band. (get it? Jed Clampits?) This phrase was actually coined and added to the Don Bonics list by Dan Hamilton of the band "As Is"
Juanish    means weird; Juan Bizarro was the name of the tour bus that Don traveled in with his old band from 1978 to 1980. And since it look so weird, it evolved into being Juanish.
Lolygag McGuilicutty    Slow....real slow.

Mateeb    Material/Stuff
Orangutarms    noun describing the length of Don Pennington's wing span.
Quack   Duct Tape (as in, "Hey Jewel, where's the quack?")
Reeb   Another word for Beer. Actually, it's beer spelled backward.
Schmotaled   This is what you are when you drink too much alcohol (combo of smashed and totaled - maybe after too many Reebs).
Schmucks    $$$$$ (money).
Schmurb    not to be confused with Schmurgs is a bourbon & Coke.
Schmurg   Hamburger
Sheezgeez    holy S*%$ (once again, you can figure it out - the website is rated PG)
Sognoid Mateeb    This describes Jewel's dog Keegan after he does a Greg Louganis into Don's backyard pond
Scruntch Mateeb   This means food.
Soodle   Ask Don about using this technique to try to pick up girls when he was in a band on the road. It has something to do with being in a band and pretending you come from a foreign country.
Speed Soodle    to Soodle (see above) at a very fast pace; Jewel does this well.
Srooc   (pronounced "schrook"); Don Bonics for Coors
SST    You've heard of Mountain Standard Time, Eastern Standard Time, etc.? This stands for "Squish Standard Time", which is the time zone of our buddy Bob (Squish).
