109 pot
n. m.1. 'Arse', 'bum', behind. (Few expressions containing the word pot have literal meanings.

Avoir un sacré pot: To have the luck of the devil. Un coup de pot: A lucky break. Manque de pot! Hard cheese! — Hard luck!

Drink, alcoholic beverage. (Although some lexicographers describe the drink as being a 'short', the very nature of the straight meaning of the word suggests it is a long drink, i.e. wine or beer. Prendre un pot avec quelqu'un: To have a jar with someone.)4. (Gambling slang): 'Pot', kitty, pool of money staked at cards, etc.5. Faire son pot: To 'make one's pile', to amass a tidy sum of money.6. Payer les pots cassés: To 'carry the can', to pay the consequences (often literally, on the financial plane).8.

Tourner autour du pot: To 'beat about the bush', to tackle a problem or a situation in a dilly-dally manner.11.
