Pot Calling The Kettle Black
This is not a phrase that anyone wants to hear. If someone ever tells you this, they are essentially calling you a hypocrite. When you say that a pot is calling the kettle black, you are saying that someone is accusing a different person when they are guilty as well. This is not the way to live, folks. It should be fine if you say it as a joke. However, you might want to be careful before you throw it around seriously.

It Doesn’t Amount To A Hill of Beans
You might have heard of this phrase before if you watched Casablanca. In the classic movie, Humphrey Bogart says this to Ingrid Bergman as he is bidding her goodbye: “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.” This has something to do with the fact that you can very easily grow beans. When someone says this, they are usually saying that someone or something bears little significance.
