Check out this bucket of slops, fellow Scottsman! I'm going to throw it out of the window! GARDYLOO!

used in Edinburgh as a warning cry when it was customary to throw slops from the windows into the streets
Gardyloo is widely supposed to have been taken from French, although it is uncertain whether it comes from an actual French phrase (such as garde à l’eau!, “attention to the water!”) or if it was a mocking and mistaken imitation of that language. The words appears to have been in use since the late 18th century, and in early use tends to refer more often to defenestrating the contents of a chamber pot more than kitchen slops.
