Greasy means greasy, and spoon means spoon, which is spoon. The words "greasy" and "spoon" together refer to those small restaurants that are a bit like a couple's shop. Generally speaking, there are not many kinds of patterns and colors on the menu of these small restaurants, and the dishes and chopsticks don't look so clean and decorated, but the food tastes good and the price is reasonable.
Honey, let me take you out for dinner. But you know, I don't like to dress up and go to any fancy places. How about we just go to the small restaurant down the street and eat hamburgers?
Husband: Honey, let me take you out for dinner. However, I really don't want to dress respectfully and go to those big hotels. How about we just go to that small restaurant at the end of the street and eat hamburgers? )
Mike, you have to go to that little China restaurant on new york Street and try their potstickers. That restaurant doesn't look so good, but their pot stickers are delicious and cheap.

A pot is a pot, and luck is luck. However, what we are talking about now is just one word. Potluck, as a word, refers to a form of party that is often held in the United States. That is, a luncheon or dinner is held at the suggestion of one person or several people, but everyone attending the party should bring a dish or a dessert. In addition to providing a venue for the party, the host only needs to prepare a dish or buy some drinks. This is called: home-cooked lunch or home-cooked dinner. As you can imagine, when a home-cooked meal is held, everyone can taste many different foods. However, if you are unlucky and you don't like what a few people bring, you have to go home and have something to eat in that small restaurant.
I've been very busy recently. I went to a small restaurant with a friend last week, and I have to cook a dish to attend a party this Sunday.

Homecooked meals have another meaning. That is: whatever you have. When used in food, it becomes: eat whatever you want.
Say, Charlie, if you don't have any plans tonight, why don't you come to our house and have a potluck with us? Helen has no time to cook anything special, but she can put an extra plate on the table for you.
Hey, Charlie, if you are free tonight, come to my house for a light meal. Eat whatever you have. My wife doesn't know when to cook, but it's absolutely no problem to add an extra pair of chopsticks. )
