I love how people sit here calling other people "bad" drivers when they're probably bad themselves. We all have our own driving habits, some worse than others, but you don't get to call the kettle black you stupid little tea pots. :/

That's an idiotic statement. You don't have to be a world class performer to know when a singer stinks just as you don't have to be a perfect driver to know when someone else's driving stinks.

Not only does your post fail for directly insulting other posters, but you couldn't even use that expression correctly which makes it fail even harder.


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?
