Wang7 Posted March 11, 2014 at 12:51 PM Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 at 12:51 PM "Eat grapes, don't spit out grape skins," definitely a tongue twister, but is it an idiom? If so, what is the context? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamille Posted March 14, 2014 at 03:28 AM Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 at 03:28 AM It's only a tongue twister. There is an idiom involving grapes that looks similar though: 吃不到葡萄說葡萄酸 (meaning that if someone can't reach something they want, they'll tell other people that they actually don't care in order not lose face).

tooironic Posted March 14, 2014 at 09:21 PM Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 at 09:21 PM I believe that idioms derives from the Greek sour grapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
