The skinny (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dope

'the skinny' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for dope that I've seen before include "Illegal drugs; fool" , "Drug - information" , "Informally, drug or silly person" , "Silly type" , "Silly ass takes drugs" .)

I've seen this clue in The New Yorker, The Guardian and the Universal.
