bones day

What does bones day mean?

A day to go hard — ask for the raise, send the text, leave the house. The pug stood up; the omens are good.

"It's a bones day, we're booking the flight."

Origin

From Jonathan Graziano's viral TikTok series in 2021 starring his 13-year-old pug Noodle. Each morning Graziano would lift Noodle up; if the pug stood, it was a 'bones day' — productive, ambitious, push your luck. If he flopped, it was a no bones day. The internet treated it as a daily horoscope.
