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.......
