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
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.
Example:
"Winning a million dollars would just be a big hassle anyway."
