NOW THIS IS A REAL EDUCATION


Where did "P!ss Poor" come from? Interesting history.

They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot.
A nd then once it was full it was taken and sold to the tannery...
if you had to do this to survive you were "Piss 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 piss in" and were the lowest of the low.
