This is more for knowing what a tenderonie is. I believe it’s a local Cleveland word. But not sure. I’d like to know. We used the word in the 70s. The tenderonies were our age then. A tenderonie was a fresh faced girl with a good body. The girls would say they were looking for tenderbonies. Regional term or not?

-- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past me I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. --

Never heard the word before in my life, here in SE Michigan.

That didn’t make down here. Never heard it before this thread.

I believe it refers to an attractive girl that is a few years younger than the man she is dating. (or vice versa with the boni)This message has been edited. Last edited by: Graniteguy,
