Did You Know What "Gardaloo" Means?

Did you know what "gardaloo" means?

Back in the days of knights and castles, as folks were using chamber pots at night to avoid going to an "outhouse" it was an important word in everyone's vocabulary. When morning came and with it the time to empty the chamber pot, this word "gardaloo" is what you would shout to the folks below before you emptied the pot out the window!
