I wanted to place here a phrase that I, Mr. Jack Mari-Surrette, had authored around January of 2006, The PHRASE: 'Honest to the bone'!

It's meaning is to describe a person speaking the bare-truth.. When a person lets out something that is so honest, so truthful so deep, that said person can then rightly say: I'll tell you the honest to the bone truth, whether you're ready to hear it or not.

Honest to the bone describes only the deepness of the truth - not the way it will come across or even if it will be believed. That is all on the person listening.

The person using this in their vocabulary is describing their own or another's perceived 100% completely to the bone honesty.

To The Bone - can also be described as simply "the core of" "the absoluteness of"

EX: Honest To The Bone: The absoluteness of honesty, Truth to it's very core and center, Honesty with nothing held back, no matter how it might be perceived or understood, the following is my honest to the bone feelings about this relationship.

I felt the need to write this down in some public arena after hearing Oprah of all people, and mind you I have used this phrase many many times online, and have never seen these words even put together before... yet I heard Oprah say so mething quite similiar, she said "Honest to the bone marrow"... I take this as a full on attempt to highjack my own words, my own sense of poetry and creativity and call it her own.

this was a phrase I did indeed create, and am simply doing my best to claim what is mine before it hits the American culture and we have 100's of people posting where they THINK this terminology came from.

Now, before it explodes onto the world you have read it here first. and now know, the creator of this phrase was me, Jack J. Mari-Surrette, during an IM conversation with my then future wife whom I 'visited' online with for hours and hours every single day and night from my home in New York to and fro her cottage in England. That is how I can place the date of it's beginning to FEB. 2006, 2 months before we married in Canada.
