"only know the term bonafide from my father's usage. When he said "so and so is bonafide", that was his shorthand version of saying "bonafide [censored]." Legit. I wouldn't want to put those words in JDW's mouth. I'm sure he meant something else."

I had used this term which was taken from the movie "On Brother Where Art Thou". Where Clooney's wife said her suitor was Bona Fide.
"Bona fide pronounced [ boh-nuh fahy-d] means to be presented in good faith; without deception or" ...............which we know that most times Runs with the mouth is not.
