Slang name for
exotic dancers as used in
Canada. I have not heard it in
common use elsewhere. Likely related to the act of
peeling off
clothing during the course of their
performances. Also used a
term of reference for
strip clubs, which are known as "the peelers".
Usage:
"I saw Jim at the peelers last night." - Jim was at the strip club.
"That's one good looking peeler." - That exotic dancer is very attractive.
I imagine this context could get you into trouble in
Northern Ireland.
