Bone

Also known as bone me, boned.

Dated crew slang meaning to obstruct, inconvenience, or create a problem for another person, usually heard in a negative construction.

In practice

The expression carries a sexualized tone and adds little precision. State the operational issue directly—blocked access, delayed setup, unsafe placement, or conflicting work.

Usage note

Dated and potentially offensive; included for comprehension, not recommended usage.
