    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.

      Thats not what skinny means.

      You’ve defined skinny as ‘medically dangerously low levels of body fat/muscle tissue’.

      It is possible to be skinny and healthy.

      Ariana Grande is so far beyond skinny that she genuienly needs an immediate medical intervention.

      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

      Skinny means you can see the bones.

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