ID: the-pot-calling-the-kettle-black
"The pot calling the kettle black" is an idiomatic expression used to highlight hypocrisy. It refers to a situation where one person criticizes another for a fault that they themselves possess. The phrase suggests that both the pot and the kettle are equally flawed, often implying that the critic should not cast stones when they have their own shortcomings. It serves as a reminder to be aware of one's own faults before pointing them out in others.
