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 :(

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.

a guy with no style or grace. he has a funny face, he can handstand when he needs to and stretch his arms out just for you. he can inflate himself just like a balloon.

A person who is not only exceptionally tall, but extremely skinny as well. Often accompanied by very poor physical co-ordination.
