Skinhead -> Head of skin -> Ceann craicinn
Skinbird -> Bird of skin -> Éan craicinn
Bootboy -> Boy of Boot -> Buachaill Buataisí

"craicinn" might should be "craicne". I don't know.

A chairde,
WHOA! Where's this comic being written? In his prison cell!?
I've never been there myself but I do recall these to be American slang of the filthiest order, usually reserved for those in such a place.
Skinhead = Neo-nazi.
Skinbird = Homosexual/crossdresser/prostitute or sex slave/transvestite - any or all of those.
Bootboy = Indentured servant.

YUCK! Really.
Slán,
Maidhc.
