    ПЕРЕМЫВАТЬ (МЫТЬ)/ПЕРЕМЫТЬ КОСТОЧКИ (КОСТИ) (кому, чьи)со11(\?\ subj: human, pi more often impfv) to talk unkindly about s.o. behind his back, discuss and criticize s.o. 's behavior in detail: Х-ы перемывают косточки Y-y - Xs are picking (tearing) Y to pieces Xs are gossiping about Y Xs are dishing the dirt about Y.
    «Слыхал, наверно, что тут про меня плели?.. Ну про фронтовика моего? Слыхал. Был тут у нас в войну один человек... Ну дак от него письмо. Сюда собирается... То-то опять начнут перемывать косточки...» (Абрамов 1). "I'm sure you've heard the gossip about me, haven't you?... You know-about my soldier. You heard. About the man who was here during the war....Well, the letter's from him. He's planning on coming here, so they'll start tearing me to pieces again soon" (1a).
    Женщины оживают, встряхиваются, их освеженный мозг вспоминает совершенно неожиданного человека, чьи косточки они, оказывается, забыли перемыть (Искандер 3). The women would revive and rouse themselves, their refreshed minds would suddenly recall that there was someone they had completely forgotten to gossip about (3a).
    The phrase originates in the ancient custom of giving a deceased person a second burial. While performing the customary ritual of washing the exhumed remains, i.e., the bones («косточки»), in preparation for reburial, people recalled and spoke of the deceased.

    - А ежели кто из-за угла и осудит его, так, по моему мнению, такие осуждения даже в расчёт принимать не следует. Плюнуть на них - и вся недолга! (М. Салтыков-Щедрин, Господа Головлёвы) — 'And if someone does speak evil of him behind his back, to my mind he need not even consider such talk. Dismiss it with contempt - that's all.'

    - В самом деле - станет он говорить со мной? Он спустит меня с лестницы - и вся недолга! (В. Каверин, Два капитана) — 'In fact, would he so much as speak to me? He would throw me downstairs, and in double-quick time too.'
