    Flensing is the removing of the blubber or outer integument of whales, separating it from the animal’s meat. Processing the blubber into whale oil was the key step that transformed a whale carcass into a stable, transportable commodity. It was an important part of the history of whaling.

            Makes sense, I didn’t know the guy at all apparently. Having looked him up it’s less funny to me tbh
