It's the flap of loose skin on the neck (below the chin) of a bull, or
some unfortunate people.
The word was erroneously used in "The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde" in the
line "Bonnie loaded dollars into a dewlap bag", when the author later
admitted that the word he had meant to use was "burlap".

Not only a bull, surely. Cows have them as well.
