Bony describes something with a lot of bone showing or feeling through the skin, very thin, with little fat or muscle covering the bones so you can feel or see them clearly. 'Bony fingers' or 'a bony face' usually means uncomfortably thin, though the word can also just describe an animal, like a 'bony fish,' which has a skeleton made of hard bone, unlike sharks, whose skeletons are made of a softer material called cartilage.
