pigskins
Thrown on Sundays
Pigskins are footballs, from the leather traditionally used to make them.
The word appears in casual sports talk: I spent Sunday watching pigskins.
It can also refer to football games themselves or the sport generally.
Outside sports, pigskin is simply leather made from pig hide.
