Sour grapes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Sour Grapes)
Jump to: navigation, search
The term sour grapes refers to the denial of one's desire for something that one fails to acquire. This moral originated from the fable The Fox and the Grapes by Aesop.
The term is also used to refer to one expressing, in an unsportsmanlike or ungracious way, anger or frustration at having failed to acquire something (i.e. being a "sore loser"), regardless of whether the party denies their desire for the item. Some consider usage of the term in this way, without including a denial of desire, to be inappropriate because it is inconsistent with the term's origin in the fable. However, such usage is commonplace nonetheless.
Sour Grapes can also mean:
Sour Grapes (book), a book of poems by William Carlos Williams (1883-1963)
Sour Grapes (play), a comedy by Vincent Lawrence (1926).
Sour Grapes (film), a 1998 film written and directed by Larry David
Sour Grapes (band), a punk band from New Brunswick, Canada
