Norwegian Toast, also known as SKOAL, is a traditional Scandinavian toast that is said before drinking. It is a short phrase that is meant to bring good luck and health to those who are drinking. The word SKOAL is derived from the Old Norse term 'skaal' which means 'CUP' or 'BOWL'. The phrase is usually accompanied by a raised glass and a clinking of glasses. The phrase is often used in social gatherings and is a way to show respect and appreciation for the company.
