The phrase has been in current use since [[Jack Lang]], Premier of [[New South Wales]], described his egalitarian policies as "cutting the heads off tall poppies" in 1931. Prior to becoming British Prime Minister, [[Margaret Thatcher]] explained her philosophy to an American audience as "let your poppies grow tall".<ref>{{citeCita booklibro|lastapellido=Comfort|firstnombre=Nicholas|title=Brewer's Politics|yearaño=1993|publishereditorial=Cassell|isbn=0304340855|pagepágina=599}}</ref>

The phrase was first introduced to many Americans through a quote attributed to Dr. Weather Lucas, a fictional surgeon amongst the creations of bestselling US novelist [[John Sandford]], in his novel "Rough Country" published in 2009. Another Sandford character notes that he did not understand her statement until he looked the phrase up on Wikipedia.

==Explanation==
Belief in the strength of this cultural phenomenon, and the degree to which it represents a negative trait, is to some extent influenced by [[politics]]. [[conservatism|Conservative]] commentators<ref>[http://hunch.com/country-to-live-in/australia/1828094 Hunch commentators]</ref> often criticise Australians for their alleged desire to punish the successful. Tall poppy syndrome is sometimes comparable to [[Class conflict|'The Politics of Envy']].{{Citation needed|datefecha=July 2010}}
 
Some commentators{{Citation needed|datefecha=February 2007}} have argued that tall poppy syndrome is a universal phenomenon, that is more common in some cultures. The concepts of ''[[Jante Law|janteloven]]'', or "Jante law", in [[Scandinavia]], and ''A kent yer faither'' (English: ''I knew your father'') in [[Scotland]], are very similar. Similar phenomena are said to exist in the [[Netherlands]] (where it is called 'maaiveldcultuur'). In the USA, Benjamin Franklin Fairless, president of United States Steel Corporation (1950), criticised such behaviour when he stated: "You cannot strengthen one by weakening another; and you cannot add to the stature of a dwarf by cutting off the leg of a giant."<ref>{{citeCita booklibro|url=http://www.bartleby.com/73/142.html|chaptercapítulo=142.

A related concept is that of a [[crab mentality]] in which members of a disadvantaged community are seen as undermining the success of community members. The image is drawn from the observation that a crab clawing its way out of a bucket (or barrel in other versions) is pulled back down by his fellows.
