a bag of bones a bone of contention a bone to pick with bag of bones bare-bones be as dry as a bone be bone dry be bone idle be chilled to the bone be close to the bone be cut to the bone be like a dog with a bone be skin and bone

bone of contention bone up chill to the bone chilled to the bone close to the bone cut to the bone cut to the quick dry as dust feel in bones funny bone Hard words break no bones have a bone to pick have a bone to pick with

he doesn't have a [jealous, mean, unkind etc.] bone in his body I feel it in my bones make no bones about Make no bones about it not have a bone in body nothing but skin and bones and skin and bones Sticks and stones may break my bones sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me the bare bones to the bone wear fingers to the bone work fingers to the bone
