sheepskins
College completion proofs
Sheepskins are the hides of sheep, with or without the wool attached.
They're used for leather, rugs, and warm linings.
The word also refers informally to diplomas or degrees, from the tradition of printing them on parchment made from sheepskin: She finally got her sheepskin after six years of night school.
