And I thought I'd seen it all!
This is about the word "skull" used to denote quaffing back a drink. Skull is wrong. I used to think that people probably meant "scull" because drinking games are sometimes referred to as "boat races".
Now I think the word is "skoal", which is a Scandinavian word for drinking a toast.
Anyone got any other ideas? Why isn't Brewer's Dictionary of Fact & Fable online anyway?
