Meaning Mnemonic

You go to buy a table but it looks it has water damage from drops of water hitting it. This makes it a pretty mediocre table. The water drops haven't really damaged it that much, it still stands and you can use it, but it's kinda ugly, so it's just mediocre.

Hints

You didn't expect to see water drop damage on this table so now your mood is mediocre too.

Reading Mnemonic

You weren't expecting to see such a mediocre table so you go up to the guy who's selling it and say, "Hey, I have a bone (ぼん) to pick with you!" But he doesn't think there is a bone to pick at all, he doesn't think the table is mediocre like you do.

Hints

Imagine having a bone to pick with someone because they're trying to sell you something mediocre and they just won't listen. Now you have a bone to pick with the person who recommended this guy to you!
