Whipcat, n. (slang): a tailor
~~
I thought another w-word would be fun...couldn't find any info re: etymology, etc., though, so if anyone has any to offer, I'd be interested :)

EDIT: see the comment from [livejournal.com profile] theidolhands for further info.

Who cares what it means, it just sounds so awesome!
