Pot Calling The Kettle Black

This is not a word one would want to say. If anyone ever mentions something to you, they’re practically branding you a hypocrite. When you claim that a pot calls the kettle black, you say that someone is blaming another human when they are also guilty. This isn’t the way, folks, to live. If you tell it as a joke, it should be cool. You may, however, want to be cautious before seriously tossing it around.

Typically, when someone mentions this, they claim that someone or something bears no importance.
