thank you!!!this really helpful!!!😊😊😊

Hi! It is a metaphor to describe a person’s appearance. Lean refers to a thin frame whilst leather refers to the way the skin looks, especially when referring to older people who have darken skin, burnt by the sun and thus looking “leathery”. Hope this helps!

Kind of. Actually, I have never seen a person who has no flesh.

Is this a metaphor?

It is because he has no flesh.
