If someone has no bones about something, it refers to the idea that one has no doubt about something. So really it can be used two ways. One it could be used that you know, you're certain you have no doubt about it. Or that someone is not at all against something. So if you have no bones about it, you're not complaining about it. That means you're okay with it. You will go for it. You have no bones about it. All right. Let's, let's continue here. Let's look at the origin. The origin of this phrase is believed to have appeared around the 15th century in regard to a diner. You know, somebody who's eating at a restaurant. A diner being unhappy about finding bones in his soup. Bones therefore meant bad or unhappy about something. Basically dissatisfied. No bones in turn you know , the opposite way in turn means good. Or not having any objection to. So you weren't against it. So this is how it came about. All right. And we have three examples here to try to cover this. Let's look at number one. This is a common way we might hear it. There are no bones about it. So this one means like no doubt about it. That you're certain about something. There are no bones about it. He is the best there ever was. Maybe they're talking about, I don't know maybe a ballplayer or a movie star. They're saying that he's the best. So there's no bones about it. No doubt about it. You're certain about it. Okay. Let's look at number two. I think he is satisfied. I think he's happy. He didn't make any bones about it. So remember you know, if you make bones about something that means you're unhappy. So if you don't make bones than you're okay. So I think he's satisfied. He didn't make any bones about it. So he didn't complain about it like he was against it, so he must be okay with it. He must at least be satisfied with it. Okay. And number three here. She makes no bones about it. Meaning in this sense it means like she does it. She doesn't try to hide it. She, she doesn't leave any doubt about it. So there's no doubt about it. So she's really obvious about this. This is another way we could use it. She makes no bones about it. she clearly or obviously expresses her dislike for that politician. So she doesn't leave any mystery. She doesn't leave any doubt. She doesn't make any bones about it. She definitely expresses herself and lets people know exactly how she feels, at least about that politician anyway. Okay. Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope its clear. Thank you for your time. Bye- bye.
