TALENTED USING BOTH OF ONE'S HANDS TO ACCOMPLISH A TASK and SKIN, PEEL, SKINNED, PREPUCE, FORESKIN
「Using talented hands to accomplish a task with skin」as DRAPE OVER a section of skin by EXPOSING what is beneath, peeling back the foreskin and REVEALING the head. Note that modern sources seem to confuse the head on the penile shaft with the head on one's upper body, hence the conclusion was surmised to be draping something over one's shoulders as the modern given meaning and apparent usage, regardless of the obvious fact that if something is draped over one's shoulders, the opposite conditions of EXPOSING and REVEALING THE INSIDE, OPENING UP, UNROLLING, SPREADING OPEN will normally occur. What may have escaped modern scholars is the image created after pulling back and draping the foreskin over an erect penile shaft below the glans, that of a CAPE DRAPED around the neck and below the head.

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: to drape over one's shoulders; to open; to unroll; to split open; to spread out
Japanese: to open, to unfold, to spread out
Unihan extended: wear; split; crack
EDRDG: expose; open

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system. Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
