		Some sources suggest it's from the notion of getting down to the bare skin, the bare and undisguised facts, or, as we say, the "naked truth." The earlier meanings of skinny ('of or like skin' and 'thin') are discussed at skinny dipping, a recent Word of the Day.
		Other slang senses of skinny don't seem to be related: for example, a late 1800s sense 'physics and chemistry', an early 20th century sense '10-cent piece', and a current Australian sense 'girl or young woman'.
		So the evidence shows that this particular slang sense probably originated in the military, as a large percentage of slang does, but it was not widely known and used until the 1960s and 1970s.
