Going from memory a quote from Ralph's best friend:

 

When the tides of life are against you and the current upsets your boat - don't waste your time on what might have been, just lay on your back and float.

Always thought it was:

 

"Piss or get off the pot."

 

In reference to the outhouse days. Most certainly one didn't run outside at every little urge... That's when the chamber pot came in handy... Especially during inclement weather... And had to be shared amongst different members of the house.

I thought it was sh*t or get off the pot.  That's how I have always said it.

Disagree. I always heard "piss"... Who sh*ts in a pot unless it's 20 below zero out. Anyway, I am taking the shi... right to the hole. 😉

Which leads to:

 

"They don't have a pot to piss in."

 

Or some other variation of that saying...

Who says one is sitting?   One can be on something while standing or sitting.  Nothing wrong with either.

Well, "get off the pot," would mean one is ON the pot ... hence, sitting.

No. 

 

It implies using or hovering over it too.

Which is the other way women pee.

 

It's okay, man.  I don't judge.

And if you're using a chamber pot... I sure the hell hope you're really not standing all that much! What a hell of a mess one would make trying to hit that small opening... 😏 

 

Let alone the splash of a shallow container... 😆

Considering Chamber Pots were the precursor to toilets, I agree with Gugny.

Not so much the precursor, but toilets existed in conjunction with pots...Going back to the Romans and Greeks and other cultures...

 

Anyway... @Gugny is wrong:

Then there are the uncut guys out there since antiquity... They probably have a few words for Gug's narrow view of the world. 😆
