Rib is a KJV-ism.
I see “bone of bone and flesh of flesh” as a poetic way for the man to say he is made of the same stuff as woman.
The Adam/human is formed from dirt and returns to dirt in death.
The woman is formed from a portion/side of the human, leaving the man as what remains and returns to the man to become one flesh which can form new humans and does in Gen 4.
