Someone who has relatively long yet thin arms and legs. A lanky person is often tall and thin.
Hey look at that lanky boy over there run I think his name is John, those spaghetti legs of his make him fast and silly.

who says lanky is an insult? it's a compliment. most models are lanky: tall and skinny. a lanky walk, run, or dance is the best thing you could see. lanky people rock. most of them are really cool. lanky people look good in almost anything too and they could get away with anything they wear. they are on top of the world and everyone looks up to them :)
a lanky-wannabe: hey im lanky (tries to run like a lanky person)

a real lanky person: hey guys! (runs so "lankily")

lanky-wannabe: man i wish i was her :(

A skinny , usually tall kid whos hair looks like bouncy sphagetti when he runs
Person : “hey look at that one over there , that lanky bastard

Me: “I know , his hair looks like sphagetti”

Person: “he looks like an inflatable air dancer”

Me: “shit man , he does actually”
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!"
tya; long body, model-like; long-legged; EXTREMELY LONG. super skinny.
Do you see that girl over there? She is very lanky, her name must be Tya. She is 70% leg.
