Not quite. It's sooner poison+head and the word has an archaic English cognate, attercop. See: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=attercop.

There's a French saying: "il a une araignée au plafond", literally: "he has a spider on his ceiling", which means you think the guy is pretty crazy. Is there something similar, in Danish or other languages?

Old fat spider spinning in a tree!

Attercop! Attercop! Won't you stop?
Stop your spinning and look for me!
