I'm telling you, that girl was a Georgia peach, and she was the apple of my eye to boot. But I was between a rock and a hard place and didn't have so much as a pot to piss in. The thing is, if I had it to do all over again, it'd be a whole different story, you can bank on that.

Jika seseorang tidak mempunyai 'a pot to piss in' itu artinya dia tidak mempunyai banyak uang. Seingat saya, ungkapan ini berasal dari zaman dahulu di mana tidak ada wc di dalam rumah sehingga orang biasanya memakai 'pot' sebagai 'toilet'. Jika seseorang 'pot' tersebut saja tidak punya, berarti orang tersebut miskin sekali.

: It's an old expression frrom the days when people kept a pot under their bed to piss in at night. A chamber-pot, not a toilet.
