“peelers”
What’s a peeler? A pickpocket? A pimp?
Its someone from the constituency of Peel or a descendent of Sir Robert Peel. Really, you have never heard that? Peel a orange? Peel off those clothes?....remove the outer layer?
At one time a “Peeler” was a London cop. Call that after Sir Robert Peel the head of London’s police force. Later they were referred to as “Bobbies”. What it means in queer land, I do not and probably not want to know.
