I was thinking about the phrase ‘The pot calling the kettle black’. It comes from a time where cooking was done over open fires and cookware would become visibly ashy. (Fun fact: It first appears and was perhaps coined by Cervantes in Don Quixote!)
What are some other idioms that have lost their literal connection to time? What would be a good modern replacement?
The crypto bro trolling the AI bro. It would be a nice modern substitute lol, IF I understand what the meaning is, eng is not my native language, but as I understood it’s: Someone bad calling out someone other bad
It’s a touch stilted but it gets the idea across! May I ask your first language? Any old idioms there that no longer make literal sense in the modern world?
