From one B-word to another

I have been desperately waiting for the last 3 years for a new B-word to come along.
The old one is tired and jaded
Then like the proverbial bus a load of new ones come along at once.
OK so, I was wondering, apart from Bill, Ben, and Bob, what are your other favorite Bongo-words on here?
And am I allowed to add bongotastic and bongoliscious - which is my experience of browsing the forum so far?

Normal B-words (on a family-friendly forum) would be things like barbecue, bockwürst, bratwürst and burgers. Maybe Bordeaux, Burgundy or Beaujolais if you're into a spot of red and maybe Barcelona, Berlin or Blackburn if you're talking tours.
I think the best word I coined was Bongolianism (do a forum search, it'll appear more than once now) but didn't catch on.
Bleed, bleeding and various derivatives also pop up regularly, not as an expletive but a crucial process in your cooling system

Bongolianism, I like that. There, that’s 3 times, and a 300% increase in usage in just one day (yes a search found a miserly ‘once only’ before today)! It might take off now though.
All pretty tasty B-words there. However, to record my personal preferences; for the red I would substitute Barbera (and preferably a d’Asti); for salubrious ‘red rose’ Blackburn (or even Bury, or Bolton) I would go for chic ‘white rose’ Brighouse (or Bridlington or Boston Spaaaa); and for the barbeque I would slap on a good bleeding slab of ‘bongo-wagyu’ (beefy-bongo) with a sauce / marinade of sesame, soy, ginger, and chilli cooked on a (ideally cast iron) hibachi portable stove. Such refinements can make pop-up appearances at Bongo-Bashes of course.
Now, Brittany might be my favoured B-tour B-word for next year. Have done small chunks of it several times in the past but not yet a bongo. The west coast all the way down is rather special, quiet, and camper friendly.

Oh yeah, how could I forget....
Yes brilliant!
These are kbg's favourite (top 3) sources of dry cured bacon when out and about:
1. Roberts TJ and Sons, on Bala high street.
2. Setchfield RP, on East Keswick high street, 3 miles from Wetherby off A1(M).
3. Mettricks, on Glossop high street in the Dark Peak.
What are yours?

Best recommendations for bacon are Laurence Gough & Sons in Stourport-on-Severn, handy for people next week who fail to provision sufficiently, and my local is (appropriately) Pat Blood & Partners in Bootle (Liverpool). When I say local, that's local to work as I actually live at the other end of the East Lancashire Road
There was a great one in Llanbedr as you turn to Nantcol Waterfalls (near Barmouth in Wales) but looking at Goggle Maps it appears to have gone the way of a lot of artisan outlets.

Ah yes....Rules....I think we have some of those somewhere. Not seen 'em around Bongoville for a long time mind you. I suspect Bob interred them in a scrumpy orchard one night in a drunken rage
p.s. oh no, just realised I'd left the 'l' out of scintillatingly (now rectified). Now that IS serious
