peelers
Potato prep tools
Peelers are tools for removing the skin from fruits and vegetables—potato peelers, apple peelers.
The word also names things that peel: a sunburn makes you a peeler.
In British and Irish slang, peelers are police officers, from Sir Robert Peel, who established London's Metropolitan Police in 1829.
In American slang, peelers are strippers—people who peel off clothing.
