Yes I think the word "flint" is the one used for striking a light ~and it has no fat oil or anything else on it!

So to skin a flint would result in "nothing"

Skin [a ]flint is simply saying someone is "tight fisted" in this context

Skinny and pinny rhyme ~ skinny is used as "being thin" in the other context of course
