"Skin a bunny"

My parents did sing “run rabbit” but never used the “skin the bunny/rabbit expression.

Nor me.
I used to have stay at the table until I'd eaten, but I couldn't eat rabbit.

My Mum said 'skin a rabbit' too.
And that song was popular "Run rabbit, run rabbit, run, run, run"

I can't eat rabbit, not since I had a pet one. It's not that I won't, I can't.

Skin a rabbit was in my childhood too.
I don’t know if I said it to my own children or not.
Maybe they would remember.

I was a very skinny child and my mother used to say that she always bought my swimming costumes one size too large to stop me looking like a skinned rabbit.

Mind you I loved eating rabbit - still do, slow cooked in an oven or slow cooker, not to mention rabbit pate.

I've never heard it, and it would have upset me, no doubt, if anyone had said it.
I was a miserable child. who grew into a miserable adult

My Mum was ' skin a rabbit' too!

My mother used to say 'skin a rabbit 'when peeling my Chilprufe vest over my head. Many years later, on a cookery course, I did learn how to skin a real rabbit, and it was like easing a body out of its clothes. Never been able to fancy eating rabbit somehow.

Yes, but my mum used to say "Skin a rabbit". Maybe she said this version because she didn't like us using childish names for animals like gee-gee. I never understood why.
