• near the bone

• dry as a bone

• bone of contention

• bone idle

• skin and bone

• just the bare bones

• to the bone

• have a bone to pick with you

• make no bones about it

• as dry as a bone

• work one's fingers to the bone

• the skull and crossbones

• feel it in one's bones

• sticks and stones may break my bones

• bag of bones

• feel in one's bones
