What is Pot Calling The Kettle Black?


1.

This is a phrase that states that the person you are talking to is calling you something that they themselves are (and generally in abundance).

This comes from old times when pots and pans were generally black and kettles were generally metallic and reflective. Therefore the pot sees its black reflection in the kettle and thinks that the kettle is black.

*this can also sometimes be shortened to "pot, kettle, black."*

someguy: u R an idiot 4 sayin tht

Some other guy: Well thats the pot calling the kettle black!

2.

an idiom, in saying that something is, while the one saying it *is* that thing.

I ran into the conformist at SamGoody with an Eminem cd, whereas I had a Blondie cd. He said I was retarded because I was 'listening to shit.' I replied 'Well, talk about the pot calling the kettle black.'
