Short Answer:

A no-bones day refers to a TikTok trend where a pug is used to predict if it’s going to be a productive day (bones day) or a lazy day (no-bones day).

Long Answer:

A no-bones day refers to a TikTok trend started by user jongraz Johnathan Graziano and his thirteen-year-old pug Noodle. The trend involves Jonathan determining if Noodle “woke up with bones”. He lifts Noodle out of bed, then checks if the dog flops back down (no-bones day) or remains standing (bones day). Some users have begun using this as a horoscope for the quality of their day referred to as the “bones forecast”. A no-bones day can be seen as synonymous with Mercury in Retrograde: if you have plans, cancel them, put on some sweatpants, and allow yourself to rest and recover and in general take the day off. Whereas, a bones day is a day to go out and do things: start that project you’ve been putting off, text your crush, clean the house, and in general deal with what’s going on in your life.
