skinned knee
Asphalt road rash
A skinned knee is an abrasion on the knee caused by scraping against a rough surface—the classic childhood injury from falling on pavement.
The top layer of skin gets scraped away, leaving a raw, stinging wound that bleeds lightly: She came home crying with a skinned knee.
The phrase evokes minor but memorable pain, often used nostalgically for carefree outdoor play.
