Chip the bone
Dear All,
could you help me, please, to understand the meaning of phrase "chip the bone". Is this something like "reopen old wounds"?
Here's some context:
"Social media picked up the theme, ran with it.
Stewing with resentment, Cate sat in Darlie’s trailer on the back
lot, waiting for a call to their next scene.
“I know how it works. I know why they do it. I just don’t understand why anyone cares so much.”
“Sure you do. You were a kid whose mother used her. I’m sorry if
that chips the bone.” "
Thank you very much!
