Word of the Week
"Katie-bar-the-door"; phrase, meaning "watch out!" or something similar.
Once again, we thank my dear husband for this phrase of the week.
And once again, I had not heard this phrase until I married him. He does not use it all the time, but generally when he is excited about something, or ready to take off. Then it's "Katie-bar-the-door, here we go!"
An Update: my sister in law found the possible meaning behind the phrase. If you are a curious sort, you can find it at http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/213750.html
