This idea came about from Matt Mulready, who decided to preface his performance at the first-ever BONK event with a brief list of what BONK “stands for,” as the vernacular would have it. Someone (NMR) thought it would be a nice interactive feature for this website.

Below, please find an ongoing list of what BONK might mean, if it were an acronym. We’re not sure it is, but just imagine. And, please, feel obligated — even uncomfortably pressured — to contribute your own interpretation of BONKness.

  1. big ol’ nasty kangaroos
  2. bring out noise, kicks
  3. bureau of new knowledge
  4. etc.

    So okay, you got me. Either this page is misbehaving or I did something wrong, as it is totally invalidating my anonymity. I’m Otis Henry and I approve this message.

    is it the meaning of BONK that we seek, or is it The BONKing of meaning? If BONK is really KNOB in the mirror, shall we turn it together and open the door?
