pot
Stove's metal companion
The frequent noun pot refers to any of various containers: for cooking, for holding plants, for making coffee.
Cooking metaphors are at work in expression like melting pot, stir the pot, and sweeten the pot.
Less frequent but still prominent is as slang for marijuana (legalize pot, pot smoker).
The verb pot usually means put in a pot and is used most often of plants: I need to pot my geraniums.
