Entry: bonerfied (adj.)
In context: "...tis ocassional and last-resort is cuh a marked reduction of Use & Abuse for Lenz that it's a bonerfied miracle and clearly constitutes as much miraculous sobriety as total abstinence would be for another person without Lenz's unique sensitivities and psychological makeup and fucking intolerable daily stresses and difficulty unwinding, and he accepts his monthly chips with a clear conscience and a head unmuddled by doubting: he knows he's sober."
Definition: I can hear Lenz saying it like this... one hopes he means bona fide (adj.): In good faith, with sincerity; genuinely.
