Is it just me, or have you had the burning desire to find out the real meaning of Lemons?
To me they are a truly fascinating fruit. They are yellow, they have a soft fleshy innards and a hard outer, they have a sour taste but they get on so well with pancakes, they can be thrown at silly people and make a good sound when you say the word "lemon". It's pleasant to listen to and rolls off the tongue. Go on, Give it a try, say "lemon" a couple of times, it might brighten up your day.
The definition of a lemon is:
lem·on (lmn)
n.
A spiny, Asian evergreen tree (Citrus limon) widely cultivated for its yellow, egg-shaped fruit.
The fruit of this tree, having a yellow aromatic rind and juicy, acid pulp.
Lemon yellow.
Informal. One that is unsatisfactory or defective: Their new car turned out to be a lemon.
This interests me alot. The lemon is in no way like the tree it grows on, and frankly, it doesn't look too impressive. Yet a lemon is wonderful! How could such beauty come from something so ugly. I'm sure we will never know.
Finally I would like to say that lemons cannot really be understood, they should remain a mystic beauty to the rest of the world.
So there you go.
