pot calling kettle black = pot is black from fire burning just like kettle so why is pot calling kettle black when he is also black

Yeah, I understood that (although never heard before). We have that sparrow one for the same meaning here.

here is what the wiki says about it

The phrase "The pot calling the kettle black" is an idiom used to accuse a person or thing of being marked with or guilty of the very thing they are pointing out

Yes, exactly. Now if you think about it, if an owl (which is a bird with big head) says to the sparrow that it has a big head, it means the same (just of course, in Hungarian).

Bob's your Uncle: roughly translates to 'there ya go - that's all there is to it!' Just press this big red button that says 'Launch Missile', and "Bob's your uncle".
