phrase. what one says to an individual who is attracting shitty folks to your vicinity. you want them to wave "the bone" (which has his/her attention) in the shitty person's face to tease him/her, then throw it so the shitty person will chase it like a retarded canine. i.e. billy is with franky and "shitty" saw franky and came up to talk. shitty is quickly wearing out his/her welcome and you urge franky to rid your area of this obcene creature by "throwing the bone" thereby ejecting the undesireable from the situation.
