From Polari — the secret slang used by gay men, circus performers, and street traders in Britain before decriminalization — 'bona vardering' means finding someone attractive or good-looking. 'Bona' means good or nice, and 'vardering' comes from the Italian 'vedere' (to see), so the phrase literally evokes appreciating someone with your eyes. It carries the coded warmth of a community that had to hide its language.
