sour grapes

this phrase is derived from the fable by an acient guy called aesop

the story is that a fox sees some grapes high up0n a tree, he tries to get them,but after many failed attempts,the fox walks aways and says "they are probably sour anyway"

when somebody says "thats sour grapes" they are talkign about somebody desiring something,but unable to have it,so they pretend like they dont want it.when infact they do!

guy1 (who is blonde) : wow that girl is fit
guy2: dude she h8s blonde guys!
guy1: oh i dont care she is probably a dyke anyway

Sour grapes

A term used to describe why some people hate others. Originating from a classic novel, sour grapes has adapted to being a frequent term used when one can’t get the fruit (beautiful girl, great job, significant money) and so they discredit crucify and condemn it to feel better.

Girl 1: ‘That girl so pretty’
Guy 1: ‘Yuck she probably has rabies’
Girl 1: ‘Oh did she say no to that date? Sour grapes much?’

"Sour Grapes"-ing

When you choose to avoid paying attention to other people's experiences with a situation because your personal experience sucked.

Zach: "I've decided not to look at any pictures on Facebook of people enjoying Halloween as I had a shitty and boring Halloween."

Renee:"I did that with the Rally to Restore Sanity. I'm "Sour Grapes"-ing the whole experience."

Sour Grapes

When you're the character that can beat all fiction, your legs get broken and the one who broke your legs wins the race "fair and square" so he mocks you with a catchy song about how Sour Grapes are the only ones that can beat you, and the fruit of victory and defeat. Then a green goblin man, Santa, Tooth fairy and a sticky man join your enemy to sing you Sour grapes.

"What'ya got there? Sour grapes!"
