The differences in the English language.
Potted: Something a plant has had done to it or the past tense of a good shot in snooker. As in 'I've just potted the plant dear, now I'm off for a game of snooker'
Pocketed: Fleecing a bookie or the past tense of knocking a pool ball into said pocket. As in 'I had £20 on Spain to win 10-0 against Tahti at odds of 100-1 now I've pocketed £2000 off the bookies, a right fleecing. Now I'm off for a game of pool where I can pocket some balls'.
Pocketed also has the same meaning as the modern trousered.
