Pot Calling The Kettle Black
We come across a lot of hypocrites in life, and one of the best sayings to use when you identify one is “pot calling the kettle black”. Let’s use the example of parents who smoke catching their kids smoking themselves. After giving them a severe talking to, a third-party observer might say that the pot was calling the kettle black. Of course, we can’t all be clean of hypocrisy our whole lives, but sayings like these are great for keeping us in check!

It Doesn’t Amount To A Hill Of Beans
Do you remember the emotional ending of the classic Hollywood film Casablanca? There is one line that is particularly relevant to this next saying. Ingrid Bergman gets a stern talking to by her lover, Humphrey Bogart, who says, “Ilsa, I’m no good at being noble, but it doesn’t take much to see that the problems of three little people don’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world.” The particularly saying refers to an insignificant or inconsequential thing, person, or event.
