"Pass the piss pot, please"

"As the women retired from the party..."
I just imagine them going "Oh, Bernadette, let's leave, they just brought out the piss pot."

Judging from the condition of that divider, a bunch of drunk "gentlemen" missed the damn pot and pissed all over that divider.

"Only real homies share a piss pot"

Bro bar floors are nastier when when it gets to closing time somehow y’all still miss something twice the size of a pot

There was an old saying about outhouses. They're too close in the summer, and too far in the winter. Meaning in the heat they would kick up some stink, and in the cold it was to far away from the house.

Someone, somewhere, sometime took a swig of the piss pot for sure

[michaelfoye]

Too many of those pots have come to become the favorite family heirlooms and used as gravy bowls by subsequent generations who had no idea to their original purpose. Still happens today.

Okay. But 18th century male attire looks FIRE 🔥

"Piss the please pot, pass"

[annettepora]

Never knew that's where "not a pot to piss in" came from!

[Milkybetrayal]

They gotten so drunk, they started challenging each other to drink from the pot.

[PxssyGalore]

Well this explains the saying..." I ain't got a pot to piss in, or a window to throw it out of"..😂

My great great grandma has an outhouse. She kept a pee pot in a kitchen chair by the back door so if you had to go in the middle of the night you just used it and she’d give it a sling out into the back yard. I was blessed to have her till I was 15. I’ve used the pee pot and the outhouse. She lived right beside my great grandparents. When I got married we bought my great grandparents old home. My great great grandmas house had been torn down many years before that but the old outhouse was still there. After a few years we finally tore it down.

In the 1920s my mother used to play quietly but with ears flapping when her mothers friends dropped by for a cup of tea. They lived in Stepney where a lot of the women worked in the kitchens and laundries etc. of the big houses. She learned stuff that she didnt understsnd for years but odd phrases stuck in her.mind. she learned that lady x was known to be fond of mr y so they were put in rooms with adjoing doors. Also that "they've got the morals of rabbits'. And 'They forget. We wash their sheets'. The meaning of that remark evaded her till she marriex. 🤭

The ladies "retiring" for the evening really just went to their own party lol

"Oh, dear Sir Charles, would you be so kind as to pass the urination cauldron in my direction. I fear I have drunken far too much brandy for today."
