skinners
Hide removal workers
Skinners are people who remove skins from animals, whether for fur, leather, or meat processing.
The term extends to anyone who skins—a fish skinner, a potato skinner.
In psychology, Skinnerians follow B.F.
Skinner's behaviorist theories, though they're more often called Skinnerians than skinners.
The plural also names multiple people surnamed Skinner.
