if something is dripping on your head don't look up to see what it is!

When taking people abseiling we used to tell them that if we shouted
"ROCK" that meant they had to shrink close to the cliff face and not
look up. Of course they were wearing safety helmets.
We shouted "Rock" no matter what was falling down. Sometimes it was a
spare safety helmet.


In the holds of ships, the stevedores are told to shout BEWARE!!! and not
LOOKOUT!!! because the foreign sailors take LOOKOUT!!! as meaning, well, to
look out, and some have had their heads nearly knocked off.
