Comments in response to a news article where someone tore up a local football field cutting donuts in their truck. They meant 'unacceptable.' Also, I did not know that unexceptionable was a word, but I looked it up and it's in Merriam-Webster.

What is a Bone Apple Tea?

/r/BoneAppleTea began as a meme where someone said, obviously, "bone apple tea" instead of "bon appétit." The meaning of the term for this subreddit is slightly different now:

A Bone Apple Tea is the mistaken use of a real, dictionary-defined word or phrase in place of another real, dictionary-defined word or phrase that sounds similar, resulting in a nonsensical, sometimes humorous utterance. BOTH THE WORD(S) REPLACING AND THE WORD(S) BEING REPLACED MUST BE REAL MERRIAM-WEBSTER DICTIONARY DEFINED WORDS. WORDS STRUNG TOGETHER DON'T COUNT.”

To combat reposts and spammers, we have enacted a rule that all accounts must be at least 30 days old and have at least 500 combined karma (this means across all of Reddit, not just in this sub)

DO NOT DM A MOD. If you have an issue, contact us through modmail ONLY. DMing a mod through either a private message or chat will result in a 30 day ban

Rules

Moderators reserve the right to remove posts and comments at their discretion

Rule 1: Posts must show a bone apple tea.

A Bone Apple Tea is the mistaken use of a real, dictionary-defined word or phrase by a human (not speech to text or captions) in place of another real, dictionary-defined word or phrase that sounds similar

THIS MEANS:

Both the mistaken original word(s) AND the replacing bone apple tea must be real, and found in the Merriam-Webster dictionary. This includes foreign words.
If two real words do not have a space between them, it's not valid becausethat’s nota realword. If it's a word that would be correct with out the space, it's not valid.
If it looks like an accidental misspelling or autocorrect, it will be removed, and you can post it on r/boneappletypo, our sister sub!
The mistaken word must sound similar to real word. This means phonetically, not regionally.
However, we do not accept homonyms, homophones, or homographs--these can be posted in r/boneappletee, our other sister sub.
Must not be from children or ESL speakers.
No memes, no matter if it fits.
No BATs of names of people, places, media, or brands
Anything else is at moderator discretion.

Appropriate Subreddits

Misspellings are not the point of this sub. Misspellings are generally more suited for /r/boneappletypo
Homonyms(-graphs,-phones) are not the point of this sub, they can be posted in /r/boneappletee
Bad translations belong in /r/Engrish.
Puns and wordplay go in /r/puns.
Misspellings in or originating from kids' games go in /r/gocommitdie.
Confusing signs are better suited for /r/dontdeadopeninside.

Rule 2: Post titles must contain the bone apple tea shown in the post.

To help us identify reposts, your title must exactly match the bone apple tea in the post - The mistaken word, NOT the original. If it's not clear what the original word or phrase should be, please add it to the title as well.

Rule 3: No reposts.

The same post may only be posted once every 3 months if the original has less than 5000 upvotes, or 6 months for anything higher. The same bone apple tea may only be posted once a week. It is up to mod discretion if it will be allowed more than that. Complaining in mod mail will NOT get your post reinstated if it has been removed for Rule 3.

We will also remove identical bone apple teas in different formats--ie. "minus well" in your screenshot, something from Twitter, etc etc.

Moderators reserve the right to remove repeat similar posts based on community feedback, or our own sense that something has been posted too often and needs "a rest."

Rule 4: No banned stuff.

No political posts or comments of any kind, at all, under any circumstances. Same with anything relating or referring to COVID, masking, or vaccines.

These phrases will not be approved under any circumstances

Rule 5: No identifying information.

All images submitted must be entirely anonymous. Posts that violate Rule 5 may be removed without notice or removal comment/reason.

You must entirely conceal or crop out:

Pictures of faces, or recognizable faces, of any kind, regardless of who they are.
Usernames of any kind, in any format, on any platform, including celebrities and your own name.
Subreddit names or group names from any social media platform.
Profile pics that show a human face.
Any and all locations.
Any information that could lead someone to locating the source of the content.

If your post contains any phone number or address of any kind (even scammers) you will be immediately permanently banned and reported to Reddit Admins. Including other info may result in bans of varying lengths

Posts older than 2 weeks that are found to have violated Rule 5 will be removed without notice.

Rule 6: Only Images That Have Been Uploaded to Reddit or Imgur

Do not directly link to other subreddits, other websites, videos, or anything taking place outside /r/BoneAppleTea. Your post must contain a properly anonymized image of someone using a bone apple tea. Text posts are no longer allowed and will be automatically filtered.

Rule 7: Don't break Reddit's Terms of Service.

This includes, but is not limited to:

racist or other hateful behavior;
advertising or using Reddit to buy or sell goods;
vote manipulation;
witch hunting;
doxxing

Rule 8: Follow Reddiquette.

We expect people to act in a civil manner. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

Rule 9: No Rule Lawyering or DMing

DO NOT DM A MOD. If you have an issue, contact us through modmail ONLY. DMing a mod through either a private message or chat will result in a 30 day ban

Mod abuse in comments or modmail will result in a permanent ban and mute

Rule lawyering in modmail will be replied to with a mute. Come back in 72 hours trying to argue and you will be banned and muted. If you want to change the rules, apply to be a mod
