Six Of One, A Half Dozen Of The Other

Six Of One, A Half Dozen Of The Other

( they are the same thing … )

\”Six of one, half-dozen of the other\” says that two things which people refer to differently are actually the same thing. A \”dozen\” is a counting word that represents twelve (12) of some particular item, so a \”half-dozen\” is equal to six (6) of that item, and saying \”six of one\” is equal to saying \”a half-dozen of the other.\” The \”one\” and the \”other\” refer to the two things which you are saying are not so different. Example: \”I say she\’s a stewardess. She says she\’s a flight attendant. It\’s six of one, a half-dozen of the other.\” Although something has been said in two different ways, they ultimately mean the same thing.
