The phrase "Pot calling the kettle black" is an idiom, used to accuse another speaker of hypocrisy, in that the speaker disparages the subject in a way that could equally be applied to him or her. In former times cast iron pots and kettles were quickly blackened from the soot of the fire. If personified into animate objects, the pot would then be hypocritical to insult the kettle's colour.
The real irony is your account name. :( |
I'm well acquainted with the expression thank you. I'm just amused that you only look up its definition after you've used it.
And again, you insult me. Why do you feel the need to insult me for pointing out your mistaken logic?
