Karl Urban is going to die from it?
I've explained ad nauseam why it is stupid. At this point we can agree to disagree.
Fair enough. I was simply interested.
He also knew how to make a fantastic Mint Julep.But McCoy went to medical school. If universities in the future are like they are now, he probably studied some history too. It's not implausible that he would be aware of historical terms for his profession that have relevance to the history of where he was from, however many centuries before it happened. In TOS, McCoy seemed proud of being from Georgia, and he also knew that, hundreds of years before his time, people were sewn like garments.
It was one of the best lines in the whole film.
"It wasn't what I wanted" doesn't make it stupid.
Usually what criticism against ST 09 boils down to. It wasn't what I wanted from "Star Trek."
No, ignoring etymology of a word like that would have been stupid in any film.
The word "bones" or the slang term "sawbones"?
Both have been used to refer a doctor for ages.
Yes. That's the joke.
So?
Here is something that illustrates very well that what was a household name in the 1960s is a virtual unknown by most people today. I came across this image that someone put together. I believe that is the Koerner version of the Enterprise. For some reason, what came into my mind was 'Kelvinator'. Then, I thought Aha!....if that brand was still well-known, people would have been using the word in potentially all kinds of funny ways to describe things from the Abramsverse. But it's defunct and has faded into obscurity, so not many would understand the reference:

Surgeons originally. Though I think using just "bones" might be original to Star Trek.
No it isn't.
That graphic is constantly shouting.
