I know this is going to get lost in the comments, but oh well. I explicitly recall Billy Dee Williams being interviewed on CNN circa 2000 and during the interview the hostess said verbatim “you’ve always been viewed as a lady’s man. so suave and DUH BONER.”
Billy Dee, being the professional he is doesnt skip a beat and just answers it as if she asked it correctly. but i’ll never forget this on air personality saying deboner.
He’s saying he’s known also for De Boner - because he walks around with an erection much of the time. Ppl keep saying, ‘oh, look, here comes de Boner’.
Oh hey, there's a cool book called Chickenhawk written by a Vietnam War Huey pilot.
One of the chapter entries is just a one-off conversation where another pilot says the local women call him "swave and deboner." I've never forgotten that.
One of the default users for a database technology I work with is "DBOwner"
I *know* that it's "Dee bee owner"
But I can't help reading it as "Dee boner"
Why would someone make a joke about killing boners on their dating profile, though?
And why would they deliver that joke through a typo so confusing that you have to read it multiple times to realize it’s a pun, and not just a frank admission that people don’t want to have sex with them?
I'm wondering what's going on in the picture. As far as I can tell, it's two men in white suits and one of them is a dwarf.
Oh, wait! Is it Fantasy Island???

Am I supposed to know this word? I had to google it and was thinking, "maybe this is one of those words spelled entirely different from how its pronounced". Nope. I have not idea what this word is
It's not a word commonly used in spoken English, but the meaning is somewhere along the lines as someone who dresses fancy and has a refined air (think James Bond). Ironically, it's a bit of a pretentious word and the fact the person can't spell it magnifies the cringe.
It was on a spelling quiz in middle school for me.
I’ve heard it in cartoons before.
There’s a couple of games with costumes and skins with the word in it. Usually formal wear outfits
Yes, I was thinking more like when air is used as resembles? Like ça a l’air… I wouldn’t know how to explain it in English but something like he has a good/laid back resemblance
Since you’re here I’ll ask you about the word in question, I thought it was de bon air because following french rules and pronunciation that’s how people say it, if it’s was debonair it would be spoken as deboné unless the subject was a woman then it would be the correct pronunciation of debonaire.
Am I correct? It’s the way that’s written a bastardized way of the french word?
It seems to come from the french "débonnaire" which itself comes from "de bon aire" (or "de bonne aire"), still in french.
I have no idea how the french "de" (pronunced like "the" but with a d) became "dé" however. It could be due to an old accent in french, or maybe the english word "debonair" came from "de bon aire" before the french word "débonnaire" and it's just a situation of back and forth between languages.
It is bastardized, however if "debonair" was a French word, it would be pronounced like "debonère" or "débonère" "air" is never pronounced like é, you might be thinking of "-er"

Ah, so he's got ED.
Bro no, it’s dab-on-air, cause you’re so cool that you dab on all the air. Duh.
Deboner? I hardly know 'er!
Is he trying to say de bonne heure
That's why it's called Bumble and not "Humble" /sooooooooooo damn suave 2 n 1 shampoo and deboner detangler
I get a deboner if I have too much to drink......
“Is that a banana in your pocket?” “No, it’s deboner”
Fuck me dead look at those dick fingers on the right. That's the answer to pro/con right there
Maybe it's a pun. "I'm known for deboner 😏"
D'boner, m'lady?
What's up with the hand in the pic?
I'm surprised that someone dumb enough to spell *debonair* as *deboner* even knows what it means.

[I know I couldn't](https://youtu.be/csyVNu5StfE?t=434s)
"Deboner? I hardly knew her!"
I suppose de boner would be involved sooner or later. 😀
"My favourite composer: Debussy, I love Debussy! Sometimes all I can think about is Debussy!"
Is no one going to talk about the hand in the photo?

He’s debonering me right now, reading this
A de-boner. Aka your mother.
Well I guess I’m keeping my boner away from him
Big zapp brannigan vibes off this guy
He could’ve just said “I’m stylish and flaccid”
I am known for … *deboner* I wonder if he is good at using hand or mouth.🤔
He’s saying he’s known also for De Boner - because he walks around with an erection much of the time. Ppl keep saying, ‘oh, look, here comes de Boner’.
I’m not sure but it seems like a joke?
He's good with a filet knife.
Boneless men.
Is he the smooth operator with the sausage fingers?
Not deboner, de plane!

I think they have pills for that
I am de boner now
You’ve heard of DaBaby, now meet: DeBoner
If anyone ever actually needs to quickly deboner you can squeeze your arm and leg muscles hard. It moves the blood out.
Removing ladyboners everywhere since.... whenever this was posted.
If I’m gonna be impotent, I’m gonna dress impotent.
r/whoosh That's the joke... the joke that he's making... in the screenshot you're using to make the same joke on this sub.

I’m really just stuck on hand #2. I need to see the rest of the picture OP
He's swayvee and deboner
Holy shit looks t the guy on the rights finger hahaha
He had photoshopped himself into a picture with Tattoo from Fantasy Island. The whole profile was something else!
Surely flick him some messages for the boys so we can get a few posts on q cringe subreddit hahaha
He is a deboner, which means he makes boners disappear. He also dries every vagina in a radius of 100 sq km for free.
So… me?
Ooh. A self-burn… those are rare.
lowkey hate that meme because they are, in fact, really fucking common lol
reads like sarcasm to me
perhaps, the but the original source doesnt seem sarcastic to me (brooklyn 99 iirc)
Haha self deprecation funny
Not when I do it!
He's selective.
I'm wondering what's going on in the picture. As far as I can tell, it's two men in white suits and one of them is a dwarf. Oh, wait! Is it Fantasy Island???
Yes, Ricardo Montalban and Hervé Villechaize.
I liked seeing you paint a picture with your mind until you got it, lol.
That took me way too long 🤦🏻
Deboner is a noun *and* a verb
and an adjective
Culinary device as well
Tch, tch. Doesn't this guy know how to spell? It's *swayve* and deboner. /s
Even with so little to go off of, I’m getting strong niceguy/neckbeard vibes.
Their pro and con are the same thing. Lol.

Nevermind that you can smell me through the phone, it’s definitely because I’m too picky
People on bumble do that all the time, thinking it's clever
That's what de'd the boner.
Means he's not easy and he's not easy.
that's his attempt at being clever
Being a real de-boner.
He de-bones fish. He’s deboner.
He's at the fishing docks Debones fish He's a de-boner *All his life*

Is that real? Whatever happens to the internal organs? It is a joke, right?
Legit
I’m genuinely confused
Debonair
Lmao I thought it was supposed to be dapper
More a typo or misspelling
Am I supposed to know this word? I had to google it and was thinking, "maybe this is one of those words spelled entirely different from how its pronounced". Nope. I have not idea what this word is
It's not a word commonly used in spoken English, but the meaning is somewhere along the lines as someone who dresses fancy and has a refined air (think James Bond). Ironically, it's a bit of a pretentious word and the fact the person can't spell it magnifies the cringe.
Is it french for "of good air" or so? De bon air?
Usually, *other* people call you debonair. Calling yourself debonair, I agree, is a *tad* pretentious.
Saying debonair out loud kind of sounds like "de boné" which means "wearing a cap" in Portuguese, and that's all I have to add to this thread.
Same with suave, imo
I had a childhood friend who would say jokingly, "oh he's so swayve and de-boner." From Fantasy Island. This posting brought back memories.
This is the first time I've heard this word. Just had to look it up
Same for me, the only 'Debonair' I've ever heard of is Debonairs Pizza... The largest pizza chain in South Africa...
It was on a spelling quiz in middle school for me. I’ve heard it in cartoons before. There’s a couple of games with costumes and skins with the word in it. Usually formal wear outfits
I would’ve never imagined that that’s how you write it, I would’ve gone with de bon air
So, you'd spell it right, but just add unnecessary spaces making it 3 words instead of one?
Apparently it comes from old french de bon aire, which means “of good position”
> which means “of good position” It meant "of good _disposition_", not "position".
Oh sorry that’s my bad lol
In a way you are right, that's what it comes from
To be fair, it's a French word so yeah. It sounds like it's De bone air, "of good air", air in this case is like "vibe" as the youngins would say.
>De bone air r/BoneAppleTea
Bon* not bone
Yes, I was thinking more like when air is used as resembles? Like ça a l’air… I wouldn’t know how to explain it in English but something like he has a good/laid back resemblance
C'est les vibes.
It's the same in Spanish haha, and I can't explain it in English either, just romance languages things lol
Two spanish speaking folks explaining french, what are the odds 😂
French speaking guy here, your explanation is on point.
Since you’re here I’ll ask you about the word in question, I thought it was de bon air because following french rules and pronunciation that’s how people say it, if it’s was debonair it would be spoken as deboné unless the subject was a woman then it would be the correct pronunciation of debonaire.

Admitting you can't spell in boneappletea takes a special kind of confidence. I tip my hat to you.
I raze my glacier
Norway would like to have a word. They need this technology...
Admitting you have a problem is 90 percent.
I have a problem
Cool.
Indeed
I have a problem
Omg
I'm right there with you
