| Summary: | skinny wopper n [Caption]: Author's cap and gloves, and sealer's "skinny woppers' or spiked Eskimo sealskin boots. 6 The pavements clicked under the tread of their huge "skinny woppers," made of sealskin which had been tanned by Esquimau women--tanned in the primitive way, by being chewed. I marvelled at the thick soles of these waterproof boots: soles studded with "sparables," "chisels," or "frosters," as various kinds of nails are called. PRINTED ITEM DNE-cit W. J.
