Notsure What does "skinned" mean?

Ok, before you reach for the shotgun, please just answer this.

In the review the were probably talking about the fact this is pure stock Google and might not be to everyones taste as pretty much all Android phones have a "skinned" UI such as Samsungs Touchwiz or HTC Sense for example.
