Default Kaffir Lily is an offensive name

This is a most interesting discussion. Would the following phrase be
offensive: "That's like the pot calling the kettle Black"


Yes it is very offensive. Pot does not go with kettles. Try to put pot
and kettle together and pretty soon you'll hear such like 'Dude, what the
hell are you doing?' or 'Doris, get my bong'.

You should say, "That's similar to the mildly hallucinogenic controlled
substance referring to the metallic cooking paraphenalia as completely
absorptive of visible electromagnetic radiation"
