THE POT who called the Kettle black

[JadeRabbit]

Hypocrites! "Liar, lawyer, mirror, foyer what's the difference" I believe is the second time maynard sings that line. Lawyers lie, liar's lie. Mirrors make a room SEEM bigger, foyers make bigger rooms.

I've been wondering what the line, "You piss all over my my black kettle" means, Call me stupid.

[ladycommish]

...but foyer is not pronounced "fo-yer"

[deppo]

I think its "mirror for ya", as in liar, lawyer, here is a mirror, look at yourself, whats the difference?

agree. its "mirror for ya" - liar, lawyer - they mirror each other, what's the dif..

so.. this this smackdown is directed to a lawyer(?)

:) no it doesn't, it would be cute if it did tho, still Maynard is always 'rhyming' words that don't perfectly rhyme, you kinda have to otherwise your severely limited

[deppo]

What do u mean it doesnt rhyme? My whole post? Obviosly not! or the "mirror for ya" bit as in the lyrics, cos MJK makes it rhyme ok in my ears.

(i think) he means lawyer rhymes with foyer but not with 'for ya'...

[deppo]

I guess technically it doesnt, but it works ok for me in the song. Makes more sense than foyer!?!? As in entrance or hallway??!?

[wearethestories]

but that doesnt rhyme
it's called a SLANT rhyme.

perfectly acceptable in poetry.

and the FOYER thing...








it still makes no sense --- you can stretch the analogy all you want, yet "liar:lawyer is to mirror:foyer" is completely incongruous no matter how you want to spin it.

what i meant was...liar, lawyer, here is a mirror, look at yourself, whats the difference? doesnt rhyme...would have been funny the first time, but never mind now.

sorry for ruining your joke

...but foyer is not pronounced "fo-yer"
Click both megaphone icons. (http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/foyer) The word actually has three pronunciations:
Foi-er
Foi-yay
Fwah-yay.

[Terry21]

It has *NOT* three prnonounciations, the last one is right.

[arad512]

prnonounciations

How do you pronounce that?
