    Whoever called you a Bonapartist didn't know what he was talking about. The only definition I know of for it is a person that followed the philosophy and supported the actions of Napoleon Bonaparte centuries ago.

    In French political history, Bonapartism has two meanings. In a strict sense, this term refers to people who aimed to restore the French Empire under the House of Bonaparte, the Corsican family of Napoleon Bonaparte (Napoleon I of France) and his nephew Louis (Napoleon III of France). In a wider sense, it refers to a broad centrist or center-right political movement that advocates the idea of a strong and centralized state, based on popular support of a strongman or caudillo.


    It's probably some obscure foreign slang. You may have inadvertently annoyed someone.
    It can be hard to tell sometimes and probably isn't worth worrying about.
    "It is said that whomsoever the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad. In fact, whomsoever the gods wish to destroy, they first hand the equivilant of a stick with a fizzing fuse and ACME Dynamite Company written on the side. It's more interesting, and doesn't take so long."
