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:

I disagree

[mainer]

13. Well, you're comparing a young girl with an older woman

And our faces do grow sharper with age.

10. Here's the cosmetics episode of 'End Times Girl's Club' which is amusing and which involves

Rose getting some make up, and the family resemblance is highlighted.

11. Funny shite

She is soooooooooooooo Kennedy in personality and yes there's some of great grandma Rose

12. I don't see the resemblance.

To me, Jacqueline Kennedy most resembles the actress Geneviève Bujold:

14. Split with what?

What's the other half? Rose and.....

23. She's trying for "spitting image"

or older "spit and image."

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.&quot


"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.

15. Rose is very pretty and does resemble her French loving grandmother, esp. the eyes,

brows, and face shape some. Also French looking too, in attitude; must be the Bouvier. Rose's coloring and style in the stand up photo remind me of French actresses Audrey Tautou and Juliette Binoche somewhat.

[cureautismnow]

16. She looks a little like the actress, Keri Russell.

They're all beautiful women.

[H2O Man]

18. Definitely.

Thanks for this.

Recommended.

25. Long time no see brother

[Moral Compass]

19. Spitting image...

The expression is "spitting image".

[left-of-center2012]

22. I wondered what a "split image" was

I thought maybe one would take the left side of a face from a photo
and paste it with the right side of a photo of someone else,
then ...
then I got tired and quit thinking.

[Laughing Mirror]

26. and "spitting image" comes originally from "spirit in image"

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.

20. She has grandma's eyes

But she's got grandpa's rounder face and lips.

[Igel]

24. Close.

For those who like admiring the scions of the wealthiest families in the United States.

Sort of "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous."

27. a bunch of my aunt's kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids look just like my grandpa.

Genetics is weird.

[Blasphemer]

28. Definitely a strong resemblence

And her brother looks a bit like JFK, Jr. so I think the Bouvier genes really dominated.
