Interesting word I learned today thanks to TAGS episode of Barney tags the 
governors car.      
Todays TAGS mystery word is skoal.

Otis says cheers, bottoms up and skoal when someone takes a gulp from the crock 
( someone needs to clean that thing ). 
skoal (sk½l) interj. Used as a drinking toast. [Danish and Norwegian skaal, 
cup, skoal, from Old Norse sk³l, bowl, drinking vessel. See skel-1 below.] 
Interesting note that the audience laughs at the word skoal as though they all 
know what it means. Either they are all Norwegian or a laugh track is being 
used here. I choose the latter. 
ps. Thank you Harriet Browder for your insight into Gomer up on the roof.
