Someone comes in and pulls the coffee pot out of the coffeemaker while it’s brewing and catches a cupful for himself or herself, then replaces the pot and walks off letting the pot continue to fill. This is jumping the pot and it’s a petty crime because Interrupting flow through the filter either early or late queers the pot for everyone else by producing a final brew that is either stronger than desired or pathetically weak.

Sign at the coffee station: PLEASE, DON’T JUMP THE POT.
“Hey dude, I’ve been waiting here for ten minutes for coffee and you waltz in and jump the pot.”

Get the crack the pot mug."Poop or get off the pot" is a more polite way of saying 'Shit or get off the pot.' It's not very eloquent but it gets the message across. My parents knew all the dirty words and phrases but would say things like 'did you just let off wind?' rather than 'fart'. Saying fart in our home whenI was young was not a good idea.
