What is the mening of butong-hininga in tagalog?

"Butong-hininga" in Tagalog literally translates to "breath bone". However, it's not a literal anatomical term. It's a figurative expression that refers to the last breath, a dying breath, or the point of death.

Here's how it's used:

* "Nasa butong-hininga na siya." (He is at his last breath.)

* "Parang nasa butong-hininga na ang kalaban." (The enemy seems to be at death's door.)

Essentially, it's a poetic way to describe the final moments of life.
