Sorry, I spend a lot of time with military personnel, picked it up there.  Skinnys seems to be a catch all term to describe the locals in east Africa.  It shouldn't be that hard to figure out where it came from.  As far as I know the term has been pretty common since the deployment to Somalia in the 90s.

Fair enough Wade.  I understand frustration with Somalia.  That so-called country is a pain in the world's ass.

I have spent a lot of time in East Africa though.  Large women are quite popular.  Being fat is often a sign of prosperity.  I dated a rather 'thick' Ethiopian woman for awhile.  Haha. 

Anyway.  Good and bad people in every corner of the world.......
