The idiom 'It's a no bones day' is an excellent example of the influence of the internet and social media on our language. While the phrase may be particularly prevalent among teenagers, it is also more generally popular with TikTok users and dog fanatics. To those unfamiliar with the trend, the expression would have no logical meaning, which is what makes a great idiom!
Among those who follow Noodle's daily mood, however, this internet slang is a way of building rapport with fellow fans and having a bit of fun with linguistic innovation.
Here's hoping Noodle finds his bones for the day of the English Language exam!
