A bone of contention

 Meaning:

  • This is something that people argue and disagree about for a long time.


Example sentence:

The main bone of contention is deciding who will take the bigger bedroom. Not only is it bigger but it's also lighter and cosier.


Questions for you to answer:

  1. What's the major political bone of contention in your country?
  2. Is there a particular bone of contention between you and your parents?
  3. What do you do when there is a minor bone of contention between you and your partner/friend?
