Meaning
To spread wide open — most often, in dancehall, for a woman to open her legs wide while dancing, wining, or in a provocative move. 'Skin out' is a staple instruction and description in dancehall lyrics and dancing. More broadly, to skin out something is to spread or stretch it fully open, as to skin out a cloth or a mat, so the word runs from the plain sense of spreading open to the charged dancehall one.
