Ambrose's Antidote: ABATIS

ABATIS, n. Rubbish in front of a fort, to prevent the rubbish outside from molesting the rubbish inside.

We've had a proliferation of abatises in front of our Federal Buildings after the initiation of the War On Terror. People ask "WOT happened?", but that's the answer in many cases. - Ed.
