I have been informed when I create bones or use an existing skeleton, attatch and weightpaint it on another forum, I am boning or skinning, not rigging?
the first sounds rude
the second, sick and cruel
hence my use of the third term
is there an industry standard terminology or is the other poster talking out of his arse?

YES.. PAIN IN THE ARSE!

EVERY conversation with this particular poster involves him talking out of his backside.

hya Wendy oh it’s just semantics and the purpose of language isto get the message across. Look at this way:  if you were a mesh would you rather be boned, skinned or rigged? I know which one I’d pick

Sounds like someone got into the joints
