Skips right, breaking mops (5)

I believe the answer is:

romps

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'skips' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'right breaking mops' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'breaking' is an anagram indicator.
'mops' with letters rearranged gives 'omps'.
'r'+'omps'='ROMPS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for romps that I've seen is " Frolics".)
