The history of pot likker dates back to enslaved cooks trying to make the most of the food they had... keeping the rich and flavorful liquid created by cooking a pot of greens or beans.

I thought it was "pot likker" or "potlikker." Then I saw on captioning that someone put "pot liquor." That seemed wrong, but I guess it's okay, too.
If you use the rich and flavorful liquid created by cooking a pot of pork butt, you are left with butt likker.
