In a recent (!) episode of Dad's Army, "Getting the Bird", Frazer said there was a "rift in the loot" in Mrs Pike's household. I get what it means from the context, but I have been unable to find any meaning for 'loot' on the internet that helps understand it properly. I even looked in a dictionary!
Any Scots or Gaelic experts out there?

It's "Rift in the lute" from a poem by Tennyson

Thanks, both of you. The subtitles misled me by spelling the word 'loot'. It must have been a common expression when Tennyson used it, but I had never heard it.
Now that's bad if the subtitles have it wrong, it's not as if they're being done on the fly!
Bert I think it originates with Tennyson.
