Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Tweedledum and Tweedledee
are
fictional characters
in an English
nursery rhyme
and in
Lewis Carroll
's
Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There
. Their names may have originally come from an
epigram
written by poet
John Byrom
. The nursery rhyme has a
Roud Folk Song Index
number of 19800. The names have since become synonymous in western popular culture slang for any two people who look and act in identical ways, generally in a derogatory context.
