Because of the resemblance of the two objects, we also nicknamed a spoon a pot a boarding saber used by the French navy under the first Empire (the "model 1811 saber"), equipped with a spoon-shaped shell intended to protect the hand; it is under this meaning that this object appears in the expression "in two strokes of a pot", which means "quickly" but also "violently", or "expeditiously" and which comes from the jargon of military sailors , pirates and corsairs using this weapon
