1.
pot; iron pot; rice cooker pot
A cooking pot, especially the inner pot of a rice cooker or a traditional iron cooking pot. The お is a polite prefix.
2.
rear-end collision (in the phrase おかまを掘る)
Used in the fixed expression お釜を掘る, meaning to rear-end another vehicle. Crude slang with a sexual origin; the ordinary word is 追突する.
The basic meaning is a cooking pot, especially for rice. The word 釜 without the honorific お is also common. The phrase お釜を掘る (literally "to dig into someone's pot") is slang for rear-ending another car.
Usage
お釜を掘る (rear-ending another car) is crude slang with a sexual origin and is best avoided; say 追突する instead. おかま (usually written in kana) is also a derogatory term for a gay or effeminate man, and learners should not use it.
