Can you speak on the etymology of "bone" or "bonerz"?
I've known the term for a while, and more or less what it meant, but not the origin.
I believe it was Dante Carfagna and possibly one or more other Chicago Record Mafia, this was absolutely the kind of shit that would add a bit of comic relief to a day of searching for vinyl, and finding increasingly diminishing returns... as far as the usage, it started out with a record being "boned out". all the other shit came after it was already a "thing" on waxidermy, where "boner" was coined. Before that it was just "bone" or "boned out".
