Bon Appétit
It's a joke derived from a tweet where someone didn't know the phrase, so they spelled it Boneappletea

I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.
Assuming it’s a serious question: it’s from English speakers not understanding French. It’s a mispronunciation of “bon appetit”. It has become a primary example of using real words in place of other real words that sound “similar enough” in ways that are sometimes funny.
bone apple tea
It is a kind of apple originating from the bonneappolé region of France which is full of calcium btw,i t is hard like a bone anf it tastes weird on its own but goes great as a tea. It was so popular among the proletariats that they would drink it before every meal but the bourgeois in France liked it too albeit secretly but they didn't wanted to with associated with it so eventually one certain travelling noble burghers that went by the name of Jean Désosser Pommes noticed this and decided to start a business selling them and investing in it until he owned all the stocks for the trees and controlled the price which he would now sell at exorbitant prices which was naturally a god sent for the bourgeois who could now drink it before they had their caviar as it became socially acceptable among their class. Jean Pommes had started to become increasingly influential and rich but his greed was unending so he shorted the stocks of his trees to create a scarcity but unfortunately for everyone, they faced great floods, war and calamity until not a single tree was left hanging. The people fondly missed the beverage and would instead just say boneappletea and make a gesture as if they were drinking it in remembrance. This has become a habbit of the people living there and only few remember why they say it.
lol never heard of some of those. Some are too apt, like old timer’s disease
