a rich pocket of something, as in a motherload of ore.
Sort of interested as to why this word is not in the forum.  Some of the GOGs must be sleeping in this Saturday AM, so I am putting it here.( It is a good day to sleep,
however, we had about 3 inches of stupid snow: even the birds are having a hard time foraging.  My feeders are packed like a shopping mall on the day after
thanksgiving).

Maybe they’ve gone to Ponder-osa (that’s the worst pun I could think of!)
either that or a ‘Eureka’ moment and they’ve discover gold!

bonanza
  n
1 a source, usually sudden and unexpected, of luck or wealth
2 (U.S. and Canadian) a mine or vein rich in ore
  (C19: from Spanish, literally: calm sea, hence, good luck, from Medieval Latin bonacia, from Latin bonus good + malacia dead calm, from Greek malakia softness)
English Collins Dictionary - English Definition & Thesaurus

Interestingly Wikipedia’s ‘Bonanza’ (TV series) says it originally referred to the Comstock Lode in Nevada. Interesting as it’s featured in a course (Earth’s Resources) that i’m doing.
I’ll need plenty of bonanza on Monday as it the examination!

Bonza - a state of euphoria induced by a bonanza.

Same thing on your baseball cap, which of course you wear back to front - can anyone tell the difference ?

Is that an extension of your constitutional rights, to bare arms and head?

Yes, and it’s much safer than bear arms and heads.
