| May 3, 2016 at 0:43 | comment | added | alephzero | There is a link between the two expressions: the King James Bible translation of Jeremiah 31:29 runs "In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge." The metaphor is probably a reference to the Mosaic law (Deuteronomy 24:16) that "Parents are not to be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin." | |

| May 2, 2016 at 17:31 | comment | added | Dan Bron | Hmm, I'm not sure there exists such a term, though it would be a useful word to have. It could describe told old Sylvester & Tweety cartoon perfectly aptly. I did check an old column in The Straight Dope about this experience, but it didn't offer and useful terminology. | |
| May 2, 2016 at 17:28 | comment | added | user66974 | @DanBron - That is the common effect, the term refers specifically to eating something sour, unripe, (generally fruit) | |
| May 2, 2016 at 17:26 | comment | added | Dan Bron | dry mouth? bitterness? | |
