Chopstick
Chopstick is a rude and hilarious way to describe a thin person. Chopsticks are paired kitchen utensils used for eating, particularly in Eastern Asia.

Bone
Bone is one of the common nicknames for skinny people. Usually, when people call someone skinny, it means they’ve got little flesh or fat. So, that means they’re made up of more bones than flesh.
It’s a hilarious description borne from the idea that they’re made up of bones and not that they look like physical bones. It’ll certainly sting.
- You’re just skin and bones
Feather
Feather is another crazy and hilarious nickname for a skinny person.
A feather is the external covering of a bird. It’s very lightweight and can be carried about by air. So this description comes from the idea that the person is very lightweight.
It’s a rude thing to call a slim person, as it implies that they can be blown about by air.
Twiglet
Twiglet is another funny thing to call a thin person. It’s gotten from a twig, a very thin part of a tree branch, the part that the leaves are directly attached to.

Skeleton
Skeleton is another common thing that people often call a slim person.
It’s a classic insult that’ll hurt deep, as it exaggerates how slim they are. The skeleton is the bony framework of the body. So, calling someone a skeleton means that they don’t have any skin.
It’ll work for someone whose bones, especially the ribs, are very prominent on the skin.
- I just saw a skeleton pass by
- Kings is a skeleton these days, isn’t he eating?
Hungryman
Hungryman is another funny description for a slim person. Calling someone a hungry man means they’ve not eaten and need food.
But, of course, slim people eat. So, nicknaming a slim person “hungryman” will hurt well, as it implies that they’re skinny because they’re not eating.
Also, it implies that they’re broke, which is why they can’t eat and are skinny.
- Hungryman, don’t you ever eat?
Slimson
Slimson is another funny name for a skinny person. This one is hilarious because it follows the style of naming a child after the father.
For instance, a Will can name his son “Wilson” and John, “Johnson.” So, “slimson” is derived from “slim”. Calling a thin person “slimson” will certainly sting.
- Why did your parents name you Juliet? Slimson suits you better
Noodles

So, it can work as a savage name when you want to tease your slim friend.
Broomstick
Broomstick is another perfect description for a slim person. A broom is a bunch of thin fibers or sticks used for cleaning.
Calling a slim person “broomstick” describes a single strand and not a bunch. It’ll certainly sting.
- What can you do? You’re just a broomstick
- Hey, broomstick! Hold yourself firmly, the wind can throw you off
Toothpick
Toothpick is another rude name to call a skinny person. We all know toothpicks, that very tiny sticks, metal or plastic, used in picking the teeth for stuck food particles.
Calling someone toothpick doesn’t need further talk for someone to know that they’re very slender. It’s only a friend that’ll forgive this rudeness.
Ladylanky
Ladylanky is the perfect name for a thin lady. Lanky is a word used to describe a very thin person, usually in an ungraceful or awkward way
So, calling a woman ladylanky says a lot about her size. For a man, you can call them, “Mr. Lanky” or whatever way you deem fit. It’ll certainly sting, as it suggests you don’t find them attractive.
Beanstalk
Beanstalk is another hilarious name to give a slim person. Beanstalk is the stem of a bean plant. It grows very quickly and is very slender.

One
The number one is another rude thing to call a skinny person.

Calling someone “letter I” means they’re very thin. It’s a funny nickname that’ll always get people to laugh.

- I thank God you’re here, Stretchy. Please, get that salt for me
Pole
Pole is another rude name to give a skinny person. A pole is a long slender piece of metal, wood, or plastic, often cylindrical, used for several purposes.

- I don’t have to worry, I have a pole here to help me reach the top of the cupboard
