Is this a combination of "same thing" and "no difference", or is it same-thing-but-with-a-slight-difference? ReelExterminator 06:54, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not a slight difference. It means "same thing", or "six of one or half dozen of the other", or "a rose by any other name", or "no difference". —Stephen 07:44, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I believe it’s a combination of the above phrases, at least that’s how I’ve always interpreted it. I’ve added an etymology to reflect this. Overlordnat1 (talk) 12:58, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
