In an old fable by Aesop, a hungry fox noticed a bunch of juicy grapes hanging from a vine. After several failed attempts to reach the grapes, the fox gave up and insisted that he didn't want them anyway because they were probably sour.
Nowadays when somebody expresses sour grapes, it means that they put down something simply because they can't have it.
The phrase is often used incorrectly as another way to express bitterness or resentment.

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.

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