Examples of the skinny in a Sentence

  1. Jeff Edwards:

    Failing to secure an indictment when a police officer shoots and kills an unarmed, skinny, naked teenager, who the officer outweighed by over 100 pounds, is a failure of will by the district attorney, and calls in to question the entire grand jury process in cases involving police misconduct.

  2. Dion Baynard:

    I started thinking to myself, if you want to be skinny, you’ve got to do what skinny people do, i noticed that most people riding bicycles were fit, so I went out and got a bicycle.

  3. Michele Yulo:

    Marketers basically decide what is 'girl' and what is 'boy,' which ultimately leads to two very distinct ways to profit as well as a blind acceptance from the consumer who, often, doesn't realize it's happening, girls are inundated from a very young age with inappropriate messaging by way of products like 'skinny' jeans for toddlers, or T-shirts that say, 'I'm too pretty to do homework, so my brother does it for me,' and sexy Halloween costumes. Kids begin to codify other kids by placing them in strict categories that they've been taught -- not born with. Inevitably, kids begin to believe that girls need to be sexy, and boys believe it, too.

  4. Elizabeth Hoff:

    I am really alarmed, people gathered in the market place. You could see many were malnourished, starving. They were skinny, tired, severely distressed. There was no smile on anybody's faces. It is not what you seen when you arrive with a convoy. The children I talked to said they had no strength to play.

  5. Shalom Ifeanyi:

    I can’t help the way I’m built. I am not trying to argue, I just feel like I have to be flat chested or real skinny in order to post.
