Popskull:
A term coined during the North American prohibition era. Popskull was used to describe poor or unhealthy moonshine whiskey. We all know that a bad hangover can make you feel like your head is going to explode. Due to the awfulness of this moonshine it was often mixed with juice to mask its taste.
