Question

What does this statement mean? your like the spitting image of ray j?

Answer 1

when men used to shine their shoes with a "spit shine" they could see their faces in the shine.  If you looked like them, you were said to be the "spitting image".

Answer 2

The phrase "spitting image" means "perfect likeness or counterpart".

It derives from a British slang expression dating back to at least 1859 as a phrase.

The roots of this expression can be traced through British history as far back as the Middle Ages  and is shared with the French "C'est son père tout craché" or "He is his father's spit and image".
