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".

Border Collie

A Border Collie is the most amazing thing that walks on four paws! They truly have human-like qualities and are intense thinkers, very affectionate, loyal, and ready for anything, anytime. There is no other dog like it!

My Border Collie, Murray, is what the author "Jon Katz" said is my lifetime dog!

cold calling

the process of approaching prospective customers or clients, typically via telephone, who were not expecting such an interaction. The word "cold" is sometimes thought of as being used because the person receiving the call is not expecting a call or has not specifically asked to be contacted by a sales person. It is pretty much another word of telemarketing

I hate when those people from overseas are cold calling me to sell me insurance that I already have.

Susan Collins

A woman who props up the patriarchy, undermining other women for a pat on the head or some small sliver of the spoils. A woman who puts preservation of white supremacy over respect and equal rights for women.

What a Susan Collins, she's such a Susan Collins, ugh what a Susan Collins move.
