Unfortunately, the only bodily function we currently have is vomitting (because, as we all know, urinating is SO much more disgusting), so all you can do in that line of thought is create a vomitorium where your dwarves vomit on the skulls of your enemies...
That's not what a vomitorium is (it's just the exit to a theatre - we get the verb "to vomit" from the Latin for "to exit", vomitare or something similar).

You should be able to make them into caps, so you'd get a "goblin skull cap". Just for the mild confusion.

Not according to Dwarf Fortress NewSpeak.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.
