[jjcorrea]

Ola galera ai vai minha dica de hoje:

O SUJO FALANDO DO MAL LAVADO : THE POT CALLING THE KATTLE BLACK

Ate a próxima!!!

Just a small correction: it's the 'the pot calling the kettle black'.
Maybe it was just something you didn't see when you were typing, but the correction is only for other people not to get confused

Actually, I made a typing mistake!!! it does not matter.

Hey! Another way to say the same thing:

It takes one to know one.

Sorry, I respectfully disagree... it's not the same idiom!

But it means the same thing, doesn't it? Take a look at what I found:

"The person who expressed criticism has similar faults to the person being criticized. This classic retort to an insult dates from the early 1900s. For example, You say she's a terrible cook? It takes one to know one! For a synonym, see pot calling the kettle black." (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ ... o+know+one)

I see both expressions as synonyms.
I'm sorry if I'm wrong. I wasjust trying to help.

Sorry!!! I don't know about that as well.... But I was wondering, perhaps your expression means:

Comer um kilo de sal ( manja?? no Brazil usa-se essa expressao para declarar que voce num pode jungar uma pessoa sem comer um kilo de sal com a pessoa. E levando em consideracao que comemos apenas uma "pitada" de sal por dia, entaum levaria ANOS pra conhecer essa pessoa..

I'm not concern about you guy!!! i really have no idea neither!!!

I was talking with my teachers about this expression (“The pot calling the kettle black.").
Here in USA is a correct way, However, this is an expression and then I can not say if is correct in other English speaking countries.
Thanks everyone for different opinion and this is the way to improve your English.

Let me take a whack at it.

"I learned this locally used expression [in Maryland] last week."
"I learned this expression commonly used in Maryland last week."

jjcorrea, what correction would you suggest? Thank you.
