Let’s look at some English idioms and see whether we can discover their origins . For example, you might hear an English person say:“I’ve got a bone to pick with you.”As with all idioms, that doesn’t 1 mean what it says. The speaker means that he wants to discuss something you have done which
has upset him in 2 . He probably wants you to explain your 3 —why you did something that caused him a problem .
This idiom 4 with the image of a dog picking, or gnawing, at a bone. The dog is 5 a problem—how to get at whatever meat is still there. He 6 the bone about and attacks it from all 7 , trying to crack open the bone and get at t he delicious marrow.
8 this the phrase“a bone to pick”came to mean“a difficulty to solve”. That expression is 9 used in modern English, but we have 10 the more complicated image of two dogs fighting over the same bone, both of them 11 to solve the same problem. It was that which 12 the idiom“having a bone to pick with someone.”
13 “bone”idiom is“to feel something in your bones”. You say that when your 14 tells you that something is true, 15 you cannot prove it. You have a strong feeling, in other words, that 16 from inside. The word“bones”, 17 , is sometimes used for“body”, as in a sentence like:“He ran as fast as his bone could carry him.”That is probably 18 we describe a lazy person contemptuously as“lazy bones”.“Lazy bones”is a 19 version of this phrase, the sort of thing a parent might say 20 to a child.
