Thin people with terribly pale bones (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beanpoles

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'thin people' is the definition.
'beanpoles' can be an answer for 'people' (I have seen 'skinny people' mean 'beanpoles' so perhaps 'people' could also mean 'beanpoles'). I am not certain of the 'thin' bit.

'terribly pale bones' is the wordplay.
'terribly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'pale'+'bones'='palebones'
'palebones' anagrammed gives 'BEANPOLES'.

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for beanpoles that I've seen before include "skinny people" , "Tall and thin people" .)
