Wait was there a legitimate use for piss in the olden days?
Was piss used to wash clothes?
I dont rember if it was water down a hill where human bodies were buried or if piss was collected directly in PISS BUCKETS for washing.

They used to wash clothes down the river from burial ground because the lye mixed with human remains resulted in a natural soap leeching into the ground water/river

The saying “Not even a pot to piss in.” doesnt just mean you have nothing, it also refers to the fact you couldnt even make any money because if you had a pot you could sell your urine.

There were a lot of legitimate uses for urine. It was used in tanning, for cleaning, for making gunpowder.
