Help[Opinions] Re: Lemon
in reply to a message by Raya
When I was a teen in Australia in the 90s, ‘lemon’ had two meanings other than the fruit: ‘a second hand car which was a bad purchase and keeps breaking down’, and ‘lesbian’.
In the UK it means something like ‘doofus’, which was a culture shock the first time someone called me a lemon and I had to figure out what they meant haha.
So no, with the slang meanings I can’t see it working!

I've heard "lemon" for a junky car, but I've never heard it for "lesbian". Huh.

Wasn’t it also code for “sexually explicit fan fiction “ at some point?

Yes, it was.
Yes, it was (or maybe it still is) a slang term for that. I only know that because one of my sisters used to be into fan fiction. (Note: She never wrote or read 'lemon' fan fiction. She learned what the term stood for before she read anything like that, thank goodness. We would have had a really angry mother if she had read or written something 'lemon')
