the only thing keeping your skeleton from causing a public scene.
means The soft tissue of the body—muscle and fat beneath the skin—or, more broadly, the edible meat of an animal or the pulpy part of a fruit.
from From Old English 'flǣsc,' a solidly Germanic word with cousins all across the family tree—German 'Fleisch,' Dutch 'vlees,' Old Norse 'flesk' (which leaned toward 'bacon,' because the Norse had priorities). The deeper root is uncertain, but it may trace to a notion of something torn or cut off, which is a grimly honest way to think about meat.
