A remark made after a counterfeit or fake item, that was falsely being presented as an original, is exposed, typically due to the discovery of the original, followed by a visual comparison of the two. The phrase can also used without the appearance of the original item, in situations where the imitation item malfunctions or breaks in a manner that would not be seen in the original.

Get the When the photocopier runs out of ink mug.Its from an old Latin fable about fish convincing each other that jumping out of the frying pan is the only way to avoid certain doom. In modern times i means rushing out of a bad situation without considering the implications.
