[[File: | [[File:shark pot.jog|450px|thumb|center|Eytmology corner: Originally, “cut bait” referred to cutting up the bait into portions suitable for a hook. Latterly it has come to mean “cutting one’s fishing line” and giving up on fishing altogether. So, the expression has changed over time to “crap, or get off the pot”.]] | ||
