I'm curious. Some theatre's call "Heads!" when they drop something (God forbid) from the catwalk. Others I've heard call "Timber!" other odd words. Generally whatever the word, it is a safety word that everyone who enters the theatre knows, and knows the meaning of.
At my theatre, we call "Fore!" like one would in golf. It's a word that means look out below, because something is falling, and get out of the way!
We dropped a stage weight once, and the tech called, "Moby Dick!" and everyone looked up.
Later, he got fired.
What do you all say?
