It's crazy, right? They have the same face shape and nearly identical features. According to the Huffington Post, people came to this realization after Schlossberg launched a comedy series on the Web. The daughter of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, Rose Kennedy Schlossberg was raised on New York City's Upper East Side, and Jackie O. used to dote on her. And she may be the spitting image of her grandma, but Schlossberg is making a name for herself in the comedy world with her new video series called "End Times Girls Club." Check out an episode below:

It's a strange idiom, and people with a weak grasp of an idiom often try hard to make sense of it. It's called "folk etymology" and it happens when two phrases seem related and you can sort of find a connection in meanings. The alternative is to have some doubt about how most other people speak and to check on yourself, but these days it's too hard to Google things because it requires wondering if you could be wrong. (One wonders how we verified things like that before Google. Um ... Oh, yeah. We had these things called "dictionaries."
"Split image" has been around for a while, but so have "ain't" and "I've went". Usage matters more than idiosyncratic forms or even how long a form's been around. "Spitting image" is the winner for usage, even at the present.
Note that historically grammatical things like "he be a-comin'" (with subjunctive that's distinct from the AAVE "be", the a- that's related to German ge- prefixed to verbs, and the historically accurate present participle that just ends in a dental instead of prescriptively borrowing the gerundive -ing suffix) are just plain incorrect in the normative form of esp. written English.

and paste it with the right side of a photo of someone else,
then ...
then I got tired and quit thinking.

(4,185 posts)if I remember an old textbook correctly. The words got changed according to how people pronounced them. Spirit in image actually makes more sense than spitting image, when you think about it too.
