Definitely not neccesarily an insult, although like most words it can be used as one if the low-life insulting another person is that stupid. Mostly used as an amusing comment or nickname. Disproportionately tall and thin, especially referring to long arms and legs.
"My God, look at how lanky Emma's legs look!"

A fast food restaraunt located in Grand Marais, Manitoba, Lanky's is home to the massive 24" hot dog. It is also famous for home made fries, awesome hamburgers, and great ice cream selection. The staff is local, so there is a lot of personality to the place.
I work at Lanky's. It is the best -- WAY better than the place next door ;)
