Recently my kids have been on a Robin Hood watching binge...so the movie is playing all the time in the background of whatever we are doing...and the other day I over heard something I'd never paid attention to before. It was the phrase, "On Guard". Before Robin Hood attacks his opponent he always puts them on alert by shouting "On Guard!"
