"Not have a pot to piss in" nghĩa là gì?

"Not have a pot to piss in/ a window to throw it out of" = không có bô để đi tiểu -> rất nghèo, không có giá trị gì. 

Ví dụ 
Laden with debt (mắc nợ), he may not have a pot to piss in but he is given a plastic bottle (no time for toilet breaks, he is told).

"I f--k him like I miss him, he just came out of prison Bi--hes be talkin' shit, but they ain't got a pot to piss in/ My name is Nicki M, I'm in a sticky Benz That mean it’s candy apple red, I’m Barbie, this is Ken." - lời bài hát Megatron của Nicki Minaj. 

I would say it’s actually advice that I gave to myself. Before The Office started, I didn’t have a pot to piss in – it was a rough time (thời điểm khó khăn) for Creed, man. And I was talking about myself in the third person a lot, which is obviously problematic (có vấn đề)!
