lemonize

To add lemon. (Not the sense in which I RFVed the same term several years ago; that sense failed.) Equinox ◑ 02:55, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Cited. Added two cites to the citation page that don't seem to fit with the existing sense. DTLHS (talk) 03:12, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

The 1992 cite is an adjective, not the verb being rfv'd Leasnam (talk) 03:26, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

@Equinox, out of curiosity, what was the other sense ? To turn or make (something) into a "lemon" ("a bad deal") ? Leasnam (talk) 03:40, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

It's archived at Talk:lemon: "To damage something and then deny or be aloof from the damage." I'm aware of "lemon" as slang for a defective motor-car, so I suppose that might be related. Equinox ◑ 03:43, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Yep, I saw it. Thanks ! Leasnam (talk) 03:45, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
