Let's start with the phrase "Piss Poor" ......
They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so poor families used to all pee
in a pot. Once a day it was taken and sold to the tannery. If you had to do
this to survive, you were “piss poor.” But worse than that were the really
poor folks who couldn’t even afford to buy a pot. They “didn’t have a pot to
piss in” and were considered the poorest of the poor.
