About This Quote
According to the website Ask Reddit, this quote is used all over the world and attributed to a variety of people. In this case, it was taken from a story by Mark Twain. In Mark Twain's book "The Prince and the Pauper," he tells the story of a man who has been mistaken for another man with a similar name. This other man happened to be a prince, so he gets treated as such.
In the story, Twain uses a number of different phrases that have often been misattributed to other authors. These include: "He's the meanest one" ("Heavens no! The meanest man in England." This is a reference to Charles Dickens' character, Mr. Pecksniff, from his novel "Great Expectations.") "We call him..Byrd the Turd"/"We call him..Byrd the Turd" is also about Mark Twain.
In this case, it's about Charles Dickens' character Mr. Pecksniff from his novel "Great Expectation." In both cases, the phrase refers to someone who is disliked by others – in this case, Pecksniff is disliked by other characters in his own novel.)
