Writes George NJ. Conan. playwright
and actor:
The expression4''F handed me a
lemon has been declared to be about
the most senseless of all phrases now
being used by the slang loving Amer
lean public But really, when / first
n RI a re- RI q TTairad the
who made it. for up to then all I'd ever
been hearing was, I'm in pretty
sweet" and had begun TO sour on the
saying.
A lemon. of course. suggests some
thing yellow, something yellow sug-
gests a seedy proposition. a seedy
proposition suggests tight squeeze,
and a tight squeeze suggests q bitter
experience. a lemon is yellow. seedy,
bitter and hard to squeeze. A lemon
is hard to take even with seltzer in
the morning Lemon is really a mem
Der of the slang family. Lemonade
must in some way be related to the
famous slangist, George AIDE. Some
thing is wrong with the man who likes
lemons. so something must be wrong
with lemons. so the saying, He hand
ed me a lemon" means. he put me
in wrong" Being an Irishman, nat
urally do not like the color Of a lemon.
