Tall and lean (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lanky

'tall and lean' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lanky that I've seen before include "Tall and scrawny" , "Long and slender" , "Awkwardly tall" , "Bony" , "Tall and angular" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, the King Feature Syndicate, the L.A. Times Daily, the Sydney Morning Herald and the New York Times.
