Usage Note
Cruche denotes a clay or ceramic jug, but in familiar speech it is a common insult for a stupid person (quelle cruche !). The slang sense is informal and slightly humorous rather than harshly offensive. It is feminine, like the related cruchon (small jug).
Examples
"Elle a rempli la cruche d'eau."
Natural Translation
She filled the jug with water.
