Crock (dishware)
A crock is a pottery container sometimes used for food and water, synonymous with the word pot, and sometimes used for chemicals. Derivative terms include crockery and crock-pot.
A gypsy's crock is a (traditionally three-legged) cooking pot.
According to the Jargon File, the use of the word crock for containers is connected to engineering jargon (see Crock) by the American scatologism "crock of shit" for extreme forms of what would otherwise be called bullshit.
