I wonder if the word boon was more generational or regional as to why you got to learn a new word.

I remember it was a favorite expression my grandmother used. It was frequently heard when she would talk about something she liked and it was "that was (or will be) quite a boon". More often though when I did something wrong but one of her friends kids I also might know did it to her satisfaction it would be "Why couldn't you do it that way. X or Y will be quite a boon to society when he (or she) grows up but I worry you will never amount to a hill of beans".
