Definition:
 
symbol of two crossed bones: a representation of two human thighbones crossing each other in the middle, traditionally placed beneath a skull as a symbol of death. The image of crossbones lying below a skull was traditionally used by pirates on their flag Jolly Roger and in modern times is used to show that something is poisonous.
