    It is quite common to describe a man as slim. And how can I get rid of him without disturbing other people? During the Iceberg Slim, to name a girl, it can be a cool-sounding nickname. Slim Pickens, Iceberg Slim, and so on.

    In fact, it depends very much on the context (whereas it is complimentary by default to describe a girl as slim ).

    For a man, slim is good when compared to fat, bad when compared to athletic or manly (for example).

    A athletic muscle implies good muscle tone and posture as well as slimness, so it’s not a synonym

    What other things do males need to look like?

    Lean :, a person or animal is thin, especially healthily so; having no superfluous fat.

    How could a wirey person be lean and tough than a wireyperson?

    Svelte : (of a person) slim and elegant.

    Are wiry mainly associated with health and flexibility?

    I believe that sex has a biological effect. It does so, of course: all of this depends on cultural belief. Personal beliefs are not always 100% accurate. —

    I don’t agree with your interpretation of shibboleth and the endonym. What does someone mean by this?

    Shibboleths are when the pronunciation of word distinguishes a non-local from a ‘local’, and endonyms are an indigenous name or pronunciation, as opposed to the exonym used by outsiders Which word applies exclusively to placenames, but placenames are commonly examples of both.
