General
pot
What does pot mean?
A potential sugar daddy or sugar mommy — someone in the talking stage who hasn't yet locked in an allowance, PPM, or anything resembling a real arrangement. POT is a holding pen: they're being screened, vibe-checked, and sized up for whether they're the real deal or about to waste your time as a salt daddy.
"He's still just a POT — three weeks of texting and not so much as a coffee date scheduled."
Origin
Shortened from 'potential' in sugar-dating forums and apps like SeekingArrangement; the gatekeeping term babies use before a POT graduates to an actual arrangement.
Frequently asked questions
