boneyards
Where graves gather
Boneyards is the plural of boneyard—a place where discarded things accumulate.
Originally a graveyard or burial ground, the term now more commonly refers to storage areas for old vehicles, aircraft, or machinery awaiting salvage or scrapping: The desert boneyard held hundreds of retired military planes.
In dominoes and other tile games, the boneyard is the pile of undrawn pieces.
