In olden days castles, for defensive reasons, often had a wide and deep trench dug around them, often then filled with water. Attacking armies had to take care to avoid falling into it, the act of not falling in was called moat-evasion. 

 

Armies that attacked and captured castles were said to be highly moat-evaded, those that failed and ran away were less moat-evaded.

I eventually, after all these years, get a tax refund for £1200 which probably means there'll be no UC next month. You couldn't make it up.
