This is a scottish word and can mean two things; 1. In its main context this is used to describe having a red face (i.e blushing)and comes from the word skelp which basically just means slap. After a person is skelped he or she would have a red mark where the contact was made (usually the face) hence they would have a skelper. 2. This word can also be used to describe a person (usually a female) who is less than attractive
1. Youve got a pure skelper by the way. 2. Did you see the burd he pulled last night she was a skelper
