ギョエテとは俺おれのことかとゲーテいい

expression

you say tomato, I say tomato; same thing, different name

A humorous phrase used when two people refer to the same thing by different names, based on a pun about the German poet Goethe's name being pronounced differently.

• 「それってパスタ？」「いや、スパゲッティだよ」「ギョエテとは俺おれのことかとゲーテいい、だね」

  "Is that pasta?" "No, it's spaghetti." "You say tomato, I say tomato, huh."
