: : Hi all! What does the expression mean? Something to do with
taking risks? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
: A "lemon" refers to an item or device which does not function
properly.
: For instance, if you purchase a brand new automobile and you constantly
need to bring it back to the dealer to have it fixed, you have purchased
a "lemon".
: Here in NY there are "Lemon Laws" which spell out your rights
as a consumer with regards to purchasing such items.
I think this comes from gaming machines, where an image of a lemon
is not good news if one comes up as part of the those displayed.
Correct?
