: I have an English assignment to learn the definition and origin of this word/phrase. I cannot find ANY reference to it or any thing like it on the WWW, or in any encyclopedia or dictionary, etymology or otherwise. I've tried different spellings : O. Carolyn Skull,
: O'Carolyn Skull, O' Carolyn's Skull, etc... I have even looked in Gaelic dictionaries.

: Has anyone out there heard of this? If so, where can I find the definition and origin of it? Thank you so much in advance,
: Cindy

I suspected that your spelling was wrong and I knew of a drink called Carolans, so I googled skull + carolans and found the following page which I think you will find useful.

A great academic may not know everything, but they know where to look...
