But how could it be hypocrisy if the person is not aware of his own shortcomings in the department when he's insulting someone? Let's say I know someone is more misinformed than me, and he calls me misinformed, so if I use the term "hypocrite" on him, it doesn't make any sense because he's not aware/doesn't think he's misinformed at all.

However, if I use the term "the pot calling the kettle black" like Faldage suggested, I think it hits the mark. \:\)

See what I mean?

Well done, Faldage! Any more such phrases/terms?
