Where did "**** poor" come from?
If you're young and hip, this is still interesting. Us older people need to learn something new every day...Just to keep the grey matter tuned up. Where did "**** Poor" come from? Interesting story.
They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot. And then once it was full it was taken and sold to the tannery... If you had to do this to survive you were "**** Poor". But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot... They "didn't have a pot to **** in" and were the lowest of the low.
