1. A skinner is the driver of a team of mules. A jerkline skinner is the main driver of a mule team who handles the jerkline (reins).
Slim, you're the best darned Jerkline Skinner that I ever layed eyes on.
2. One who's abilities to construct a spliff are of an extremely low standard.
I'm not smoking that your majesty, it looks as if it's been rolled by a jerkline skinner.
I think the first defintion is the one that applies to "Of Mice and Men".

Yes, Read it in High School. It was a good book! Good movie too, but not as good as the book.
