Tonay

A term used by a certain group of musicians (Sex on Toast) to describe certain attributes of their own and other's music. It is often used to describe styles of music that features heavy synth bass-lines, sweet talkbox, mean synths and a fierce horn section with RnB inspired elements. The term is also frequently extended beyond use as a musical term, being used to describe people, places and things. It began as an in-joke between band members but has become an integral part of the band's musical identity and its affiliation with fans. Compare with 'Ricky'.

"An essence, a life-force, a beautiful woman, a stank bass line, a damn good time...Tonay."

"Dayum, that new SOT track is hella tonay."
