You start with some historical research and discover that the first peelers were policemen.
peeler. From the surname of Sir Robert Peel, who established the Irish constabulary and London’s police force; compare bobby, from the given name. A person whose job it is to peel fruit or vegetable produce. (pejorative, slang) A woman (less commonly a man) who removes her clothing for entertainment.
And if the peeler is a female ecdysiast you usually wouldn’t need the handcuffs.
I carefully peel my potatoes with a thick continuous slicing action like I would normally do when i cut a piece of newspaper around and around maintaining one complete ribbon before moving onto the afternoon’s basket weaving.
