Tomato Tomahto
(different pronunciations of tomato)
= expression for when someone feels that the same thing is being talked about by using different words
(basically it doesn’t matter because it’s the same meaning)
Ex: Person #1: “I think David Beckham is past his best.”
Person #2: “Well, he’s not as young as he was.”
Person #1: “Tomato Tomahto”
The phrase comes from the George Gershwin song “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off.”
…“Tomato, tomahto
..potato potahto …” (another line from the song.)
