11 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! (There is a strange correlation between sodomy as in se faire casser le pot and good fortune, which would suggest as with cocu (see that word) that sexual favours and good luck are closely intertwined.)3. 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. Pot de yaourt (joc.): Bubble- car. (In the 50s, the most popular bubble-car in France was manufactured by Isetta. These vehicles with their large glass area and striking white colour quickly earned this nickname.)9. Etre sourd comme un pot: To be as deaf as a post.10. Tourner autour du pot: To 'beat about the bush', to tackle a problem or a situation in a dilly-dally manner.11.

Leave it to me! — Let me worry about it!14. Pot aux roses: Sensitive secret. Découvrir le pot aux roses: To stumble on a bit of scandal. (Because of a possible hiatus, the 't' in pot is pronounced as a liaison in colloquial contexts.) -
12 sac
n. m.1. 'Belly', stomach. S'en mettre plein le sac: To 'stuff one's face', to have a hearty meal.2. Unit of ten francs or ten-franc note. (Prior to the 1958 remonetization, the amount was 1000 francs. According to certain sources inflation in the mid-yos resulted in an upgrading of the sac to 100 nouveaux francs.)3. Etre au sac (also: avoir le sac): To be 'stinking rich', to be 'rolling in it', to be very wealthy. (Expressions such as épouser un sac: to marry a wealthy girl, and terms like gros sac: wealthy so-and-so, confirm the money image of this meaning of the word.)4. Faire son sac: To 'make one's pile', to amass a fortune.5. L'affaire est dans le sac!a It's in the bag! — It's a dead-cert! — It's a sure thing!b (iron.): She's preggers! — She is pregnant.6.
