Welcome!
I also like 'the Real McCoy' 😊
The real Mccoy > Bona fide
It's indubitably indubitable the most fun to say!
7 days a week.
My thesaurus says these two words could possibly be synonyms
Nota bene: "bona fide" is two words. Latin ones.
Legit.
The Real McCoy is three words 😁 I feel we're just splitting hairs here, we all knew what OP meant.
I’m good with it. Any which way. I’m just happy to have interaction at 4:38 AM in the morning
What I like about Darren Walker is that they just say what they are thinking and it is usually a very intelligent argument. I like that.
Also, Darren helped me understand not to be offended. I don’t know if I’ll ever get over this completely because I am emotional.
The end for now
Kosher. All day long. They have different meanings though. Follow up question. Do people of the Jewish persuasion get offended or pissed off if goys use the word kosher to mean "cool?" As in okay, acceptable, not like Fonzi cool
The “ Real McCoy “ label came about associated with honesty in dishonest activities
Just because words are listed as synonymous does not mean they can be used interchangeably. Much of word choice depends on the context.
Kosher. Or alternatively "the dog's bollocks".
I don't generally use either unless talking about foods with certain friends then Kosher may come up lol
Typically I'll just say certified or legitimate as the situation requires.
Bona fide is more "real" Kosher is more "proper"
Tickety boo can cover both, depending on context
Dammit now I have to go watch Red Dwarf as the covenant demands, also I just love that saying but it gets the oddest looks here in the states lmao
I like "legit" best
Authentic, genuine, certified... hmmm
Tickety boo!!! 🤗
@NightShift39 Red Dwarf was awesome! I may spontaneously burst into one of Cat's songs, from time to time. It was a common enough phrase, when the show came out, and I use it as often as SNAFU
@squeakytoy Legit is far more contemporary.
@Importance In my mind, those only work for designer handbags, or steak.

Meanwhile, on the Jupiter Mining Corporation vessel Red Dwarf ..... 3 million years into deep space....
I always thought "kosher" specifically had some religious significance, as in permissible/approved for use/consumption, which I thought was a bit different from "bona fide", meaning authentic.
How about "the real deal"?
