maybe you are not as bright as you think you are.
Explanation:
"The pot" (for cooking) and "the kettle" (for boiling water) sit on the stove over the fire and become black from the flames. Example: "I'm tired of you always wearing my clothing!" Answer: "Aren't you the pot calling the kettle black? You're wearing my pants right now!"
it is an old saying yes, but since 1950's at least pots and kettles have been of a different colour to one another (no more over fire cooking). Thus stop using this ridiculous saying which no longer supports the joke. It is 2010 not 1940's
