Call black - what does it mean?

This is a phrase that states that the person you are talking to is calling you something that they themselves are (and generally in abundance).

This comes from old times when pots and pans were generally black and kettles were generally metallic and reflective. Therefore the pot sees its black reflection in the kettle and thinks that the kettle is black.

*this can also sometimes be shortened to "pot, kettle, black."*

someguy: u R an idiot 4 sayin tht

Call black - meaning

An expression that is said when one accuses another person of that which they are equally guilty of.

Many years ago, people used to cook over an open flame using copper kettles and iron pots. The copper kettles were usually polished after every use whereas the iron pots were not and remained blackened from the soot from previous cookings. Well someone got the idea that if the iron pot were alive and it looked at a nearby copper kettle, it would see a black image. The iron pot believes it sees the image of the copper kettle when in reality, because the copper kettle was polished, what the iron pot was seeing was a reflection of itself. This symbolic phrase became associated with hypocrisy. An accuser blames someone else for having a fault when the accuser has the same fault.

Joe accuses Mark for not keeping his house clean when in reality, Joe has a messy house. Therefore, Joe is guilty of "the pot calling the kettle black".

Call black

It's morning. You hate mornings. Scrolling the morning newsfeed, you read about another unarmed black man murdered by police and your blood begins to boil. You think about the blonde girl at the office (mis)using "woke" again and you start to get nauseated. This is when "Calling in Black" (with fever and nausea) can be the perfect solution.

Living While Black can take a toll. Sometimes you need a minute. Mmkay? That's when when "Calling in Black"

can be so clutch. 2) " Jamisa wants a three-day weekend, so she's calling in black on Monday morning"

Call black

"Calling in Black" was a Freudian slip by a white male medical office worker, summarizing a phone call from

La'Shondra, who was calling in from Compton with a litany of symptoms (nausea, diarrhea. dizziness...) none of which has any visible signs. He hung up the phone, and announced to the mostly black staff, "LaShondra just called in Black" "Sick, Sick" He said immediately. "She called in Sick" Too late to un-ring the bell, he was spared a trip to HR, because the staff loved the phrase, and co-opted it into the office lexicon, and spread to other offices.

"Jamisa is calling in black on Monday, and making it a 3-day weekend."
