crocks
Old ceramic containers
Crocks are large earthenware pots or jars, traditionally used for storing food, fermenting pickles, or holding liquids.
A crock can also be something worthless or false—a crock of shit is nonsense or lies, often shortened to just a crock: That excuse is a crock.
In British slang, a crock is someone decrepit or broken down.
