What is the English word an overly skinny person? [closed]

In Russian there is a jargon word "дрищ" (~ dreeshch) that usually (depending on the context) means either diarrhea or an extremely lean, usually undermuscled person, something like the one on the picture below (not necessarily undermuscled this severely). Is there an analogous word in English?

A person so underweight might be called emaciated.

emaciated adjective Abnormally thin or weak, especially because of illness or a lack of food. ‘she was so emaciated she could hardly stand’ - ODO


If the OP is looking for a colloquial equivalent, they could choose between

  • superskinny–(informal) very skinny

  • thin as a rake–(BrEng)extremely skinny or slender.

  • be skin and bonesto be extremely thin
  • anorexicsuffering from or relating to anorexia

I've always liked to use the word Gaunt to describe this. The meaning is contextual but it fits pretty well here.

extremely thin and bony; haggard and drawn, as from great hunger, weariness, or torture; emaciated.

Use as an adjective: "He was tall and Gaunt."
