string bean
Tall, thin vegetable
String bean is a variety of green bean with a fibrous "string" along its seam that must be removed before cooking, though most modern cultivars have been bred stringless.
The term persists as a general name for green beans.
Informally, a string bean is a tall, thin person: He was a string bean of a kid, all arms and legs.
