Gardyloo - a historical warning cry meaning “look out below” or “beware the water".

In old Edinburg, Scotland it was yelled as a warning before someone emptied a chamber pot or bucket out of an upper window onto the street below. People had to shout it so pedestrians could try to get out of the way.
