How it's used
Primarily used in culinary contexts, this term specifically describes the action of separating meat from the skeletal structure. Beyond the kitchen, it is sometimes metaphorically applied to the process of creating sharp, crisp creases in fabric or paper, similar to how one might press a sharp edge into a pair of trousers.
Examples
This fish has many bones, please help me debone it.
