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."*

Get the Kettled mug.A term often used by those living in the North-Eastern United States, where rapidly changing winter weather creates slippery conditions for pedestrians without warning. Similar to taking a "wicked shitter," going "ass over tea kettle" describes the motion of the body as it somersaults uncontrollably on a driveway or down a set of basement stairs, for example. The tea kettle is valued during cold winter months and is used metaphorically to assert that something important (along with one's ass) has been damaged in the fall.
Not realizing that the driveway froze over, I went ass over tea kettle while goin' out to get the mail.
