skinnymalinks

(UK, informal) A skinny person.

A British and Scottish informal term for someone who is noticeably thin or scrawny. Often used affectionately or teasingly to describe a person with a beanpole build, the word carries a playful, almost cartoon-like quality. It's the kind of nickname a nan might drop on a gangly teenager who refuses to eat their dinner. Common in northern England and Scotland, it's more charming than cutting.

(informal) Someone or something very thin.

(UK, slang, obsolete) A simple country gentleman.

(Internet slang, derogatory) A tall but scrawny man.
