   I thought R picked up "skinny" for contemptible by watching American   
   tough-guy movies or maybe by listening to rap lyrics. And he's got a running   
   joke going about his being a little porky.  And my real point is that he   
   picks up memes on the net that don't really work in England. But you might   
   be right. I like Starbucks but when I go in I only look at the plain brew   
   end of the menu so I never heard of a latte-skinny. I get balled out on and   
   off the net for reading too much into things.
