"Garde Loo" is a term often heard in Old Edinburgh before the days of indoor plumming. Based on the French "Garde L'eau" (Watch out for the water), it served as a warning to those below that the contents of the chamberpot would soon be thrown from an open window. It is thought to be the origins of the colloquialism "Loo" for a toilet.
