        Skinny means you can see the bones.

        I’m not saying I find it attractive, I’m not arguing that it’s healthy.

        Taylor Swift is not skinny.

          Skinny means you can see the bones.

          No, it does not. Your opinion of what a relative term means is not fact.

          golly that’s not what i understand skinny to mean. i think it’d be odd if “every skinny person is unhealthy” was true by definition

      Ariana Grande looks like she has a very serious eating disorder. She’s not skinny, she looks malnourished.

      It’s like saying that a Honda Civic is a muscle car because someone rolled up in a poorly setup Kei car.

        Skinny used to be a pejorative and it basically meant that you were too poor to feed yourself, i.e. malnourished.
