commonplace, ordinary, mediocre
凡 centers on the idea of being unremarkable and widespread: something ordinary, commonplace, or mediocre, lacking special distinction.
凡 originally depicted a sail or a flat, broad shape, conveying the idea of something widespread and common. The modern form retains the enclosing 几 with an inner dot, but the exact historical development is uncertain.
The outer 几 looks like a plain, ordinary table, and the inner dot is just a speck of dust on it. Together they suggest something utterly commonplace and mediocre.
For ボン, imagine a boring, ordinary bonfire that is so mediocre it barely lights up: bon -> ボン, and the fire is as commonplace as the kanji's meaning.
