Bone-idle for Dummies

Hey there! So, when we say someone is "bone-idle," it means they are extremely lazy or inactive. It's like when you have a bone in your body that's not doing anything, it's just sitting there not moving at all. So, when we use this phrase, we're saying that someone is being lazy and not putting any effort into doing what they should be doing. It's an informal way of describing someone who is not being productive or helpful.

This term can also be used to describe something that is not doing what it's supposed to be doing. For example, if a machine is not working because it's not being maintained properly, we could say that it's bone-idle. It's like the machine is just sitting around doing nothing, just like a bone in the body that's not moving.

So, when we use the term "bone-idle," we're saying that someone or something is not being active, productive, or helpful in the way they should be. It's a way of describing laziness or inactivity in a more light-hearted and informal way. Hope that helps!
