Great point about "pot." Mama's generation in Texas also used the cliche "doesn't/didn't have a pot to pee in." I'm hearing so dang much about weed these days that this didn't even come to my mind.

Maybe its too old a word but does, salty tar or briny tar ring any bells? Ocean accident…too
Pot of course could be related to the toilet dreams. If someone is poor financially in the british isles, we say he didn't have a pot to piss in. not super polite but gives a good image hehehe
