The thing is I always thought the kettle was more likely to be black so the pot would be justified in its description

I'm always amazed that people get lost at the point where the pot makes a snide remark, although they can accept that such an item possesses the power of speech.
Disney has a lot to answer for.

I prefer this variation: the crow calling the raven black.

I prefer this variation: the crow calling the raven black. Same here. I use it in a dialogic form, while horribly overacting "And the crow... said to the raven... you're soooooooo blaaaaaaaack!"

I've heard it and use it . just in different variations Like if an over weight friend calls a girl fat I'll say "well isn't that the big fat pot calling the kettle fat."

Since I like to mock the overly-PC, I usually say something along the lines of "Isn't that the pot calling the kettle African-American?" Reactions usually vary, but most people get the joke.

it's an old cliche but I never think about it because I'm still drying to figure out why the dish ran away with the spoon Because the dish was a gold-digger, and the spoon just got a promotion. Story of my life ....

I'm glad you know girls as stupid as I do. I use common phrases like that and they look at me as if I'm speaking french. It's just a regular turn a phrase.
"How do you turn a phrase?"

The phrase was from a time where both were made out of cast iron, which is often black.
A being, once set in his ways will not change easily. Mythbusters though, proved that dogs can still learn when they reach middle age.
What a time we live in where the classics are going away.

Having your cake and eating it too.
Stupidest saying ever. What the hell are you going to do with cake other than eat it. I guess smash it in someone's face. But still that seems like a waste of a good cake.

I first heard the term during the movie Trading Places. I never bothered to use it though, it just sounds silly.
If I catch someone, I'll just flat out call him a f***ing hypocrite. Nevermind the fancy terms.
