Back in the day, they used to use urine to tan hides. Some families would have to collect their urine in a pot & sell it to the tanneries to survive...hence the term "p*ss poor"...
If a family was too poor to own a pot, they "didn't have a pot to p*ss in"...could also be phrased as "$h!t outta luck"... What's the poorest you've ever been? |
