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 New York Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, the King Feature Syndicate, the Wall Street Journal, the L.A. Times Daily, the Universal and The Washington Post.
