Pot Calling the Kettle Black

An expression that is said when one accuses another person of that which they are equally guilty of.

Many years ago, people used to cook over an open flame using copper kettles and iron pots. The copper kettles were usually polished after every use whereas the iron pots were not and remained blackened from the soot from previous cookings. Well someone got the idea that if the iron pot were alive and it looked at a nearby copper kettle, it would see a black image. The iron pot believes it sees the image of the copper kettle when in reality, because the copper kettle was polished, what the iron pot was seeing was a reflection of itself. This symbolic phrase became associated with hypocrisy. An accuser blames someone else for having a fault when the accuser has the same fault.

Joe accuses Mark for not keeping his house clean when in reality, Joe has a messy house. Therefore, Joe is guilty of "the pot calling the kettle black".

Wet Blanket

descriptive noun

Describes a person who essentially ruins other people's fun, either because they openly disapprove of what other people are doing, or because their unpleasant attitude annoys or depresses everyone who would otherwise be enjoying themselves, if it weren't for that person acting like a 'wet blanket'.

The term is probably American in origin, first being used as slang in the mid 1800's. It was meant to compare a person to a wet blanket used to extinguish fires by smothering them, similar to how such a person would "extinguish" fun and excitement in social situations. Another, more modern interpretation of the term likens a dislikable or overbearing person to the aggravating, uncomfortable feeling of being covered by a blanket when it's wet.

"William was at the party last night and kept bumming everyone out by lecturing them about the 'dangers of alcohol and drugs'. Ha!"
"Yeah, that guy is such a wet blanket."

black humour

humor that deals with unpleasant aspects of life in a bitter or ironic way

Black humour is when, for example, a man takes off his belt to hang himself, and his trousers fall down. Another example of black humour, "Suicide just isn't funny, no matter which way you slice it," is an effective satire at the way that suicide is treated in mainstream western culture, insinuating that attitudes towards suicide are even more morose or morbid than the act or mental condition leading to it.

Black Eyed Peas

A former trio that decided to ruin their talent by adding a mediocre singer who can only bring ONE thing to their resume: commercial success.

Their first two albums prove that BEP had a whole lot of talent and, most importantly, ORIGINALITY.

Their third album had some good songs too, but now they're just bullshit. "boom boom pow" and "my humps"...WTF is this?

Old BEP FTW!
