bonomatopoeia

- An arrogantly righteous yet pretentiously sincere statement or phrase.

- A statement or phrase that sounds like something Bono said or would say.

Origin: combination of 'Bono' and 'onomatopoeia'.

1) A Bob Geldof bonomatopoeia is "It's really very simple, Governor. When people are hungry they die".

2) An Simpsons-originated bonomatopoeia (from Bono no less) is "Hold on! He's talking about waste management and that affects the whole damn planet."
