we take our time to learn your language, so then its only fair that you do the same, right?
Wasn't sure if it was a wind-up, but some Swedish friends told me the toast 'Skol/Skal' is derived from an old Scandinavian language and as the same word as skull. They also told me that legend has it, that this was because the skulls of conquered foe of some of the Vikingswere used as drinking cups, and when celebrating, the craniums/cups were banged together as drinkers shouted 'Skol'.
Not sure if it's true, but a good story all the same
Its not made up, we still do it on saturdays while watching football
