Bon Iver

The name under which Wisconsin native Justin Vernon plays. He is an incredibly talented and gifted musician who fits into the indie-folk genre. Vernon's latest album, For Emma, Forever Ago, was written while Vernon spent 3 months in a remote cabin in Northwest Wisconsin. He played all of the instruments in that album to accompany his powerful voice. Overall, he is an artist that everyone should know and listen to, just because he is so talented.

Bon L'(h)iver

A more Continental variation of Drynuary, the practice of giving your liver a break after the ravages of the holidays. Literally, "Happy Winter Liver".

Like Ciao and Aloha, can be used as a salutation or goodbye.

Etymology: combination and play on the French word for Winter (hiver) and the booze-targeting organ (liver).

After mainlining Gloria Ferrer and Armagnac for all of December, it's time to say Bon L'(h)iver!

Bon L'(h)iver! I'll have a club soda with lime, please.
