skål
The Danish history of "skål" is rooted in the word for "bowl," which evolved into the toast for "cheers". While popular myth suggests it originated from Vikings drinking from the skulls of enemies, historical evidence points to a more communal origin of passing wooden bowls of drink at gatherings and celebrations. Today, it is a verbal gesture of goodwill and friendship used when drinking together, not as a general greeting or farewell.
