\"bono\" is not the same as \"buono\", it\'s a kind of slang for \"very nice\" referred to a person\'s physical appearance

"you're so hot".


Explanation:
I wouldn't really say that "bono" stands for "very nice". It is a more sex-related kind of compliment. I think "bono" is between "handsome" and and "sexy". And it's very colloquial and slangish too.
