ok, what's up with that "Pot meet Kettle" thingie?

[ndee]

I just don't get it. What is it about? I'm really curious about it.

I'm rubber and you're glue. Anything you say bounces off of me and sticks to you.😉

You've never heard of the pot calling the kettle black?

"The pot calling teh kettel black: its an expression. people use it when they are makeing teh point that something is basically the same as teh other., cause teh pot and kettle are both black

 

[Viper GTS]

Surely you've heard the expression it is a derivative of?

You know, black pots & kettles?

It means being hypocritical - "It's like the pot calling the kettle black."

They're both blackened from use, so one pointing that out to the other is utterly hypocritical.

Such as myself calling someone a Nef. 😛

Do you deliberately use "teh" or are you just that bad at spelling? 😕

The whole phrase is "pot calling the kettle black" and is basically referring to someone criticising something for which they are also guilty. This link has a bunch of phrase origins. Apparently this one is from Don Quixote, which I never knew.
