　　have a bone to pick with someone

　　I’ve got a bone to pick with you. How come you didn’t come to my party last night?

　　be (as) dry as a bone

　　After four months with no rain, even the riverbed became as dry as bone.

　　Let’s stop for a drink. I’m as dry as a bone.

　　I’m sorry, but you can’t buy a strong drink here. This town is as dry as a bone.

　　I have to bone up on next year’s sales program for the board of directors meeting tomorrow.
