Skully ho

Thom from somewhere in Canada:

"At my Uncle's school in Lindsey, Ontario there was a fight between two girls. One of the girls was expelled after the fight for calling the other girl a "Skully Ho." Despite the harsh penalty, however, all of the teachers were confounded - they couldn't figure out what the insult had meant. These teachers are pillars of their community and as such enjoy a good beer after the work week on Fridays and traditionally they all meet at a pub called the Grand near the school. Ever since the "Skully Ho" incident, when these teachers begin the evenings first and last pint on a Friday at the Grand, they all raise their glass and toast "Skully Ho." I think this should be widely adopted in Canada because it has the right sound for a traditional toast but also because the story of its origin encapsulates some key Canadian drinking traditions: cat-fights, made-up insults, relaxing after a week of hard work and camaraderie."

Thanks a lot Thom!
