Pots come in various sizes and can be used for cooking anything from baked beans to beef bourguignon.

Answer: Posh

The probably false acronym relates to "Port Out, Starboard Home".

The UK and India are both in the northern hemisphere so the port (left-hand side) berths were mostly in the shade when travelling out (easterly) and the starboard ones when coming back. So the best and most expensive berths were POSH, hence the term.
