skinny Minnie

Very slender one

Skinny Minnie is a playful, rhyming way to describe a very thin person, almost always a woman or girl.

The term can be affectionate or teasing depending on tone: Look at you, skinny Minnie—have you been eating?

The rhyme gives it a lighthearted, somewhat old-fashioned feel.
