Represents a lemon โ sour, bright, and fresh. Itโs used both literally (food, drinks) and figuratively to talk about โsomething sourโ in life, like a disappointment or unlucky event.
Your friend tells you their flight got delayed again.
Ugh thatโs a total lemon ๐
In Japan, ๐ often carries gentle, nostalgic vibes thanks to its use in song lyrics and commercials (โ้ๆฅใฌใขใณโ vibes). It can feel more like โrefreshing youthโ or โpure energyโ rather than โsourness.โ
While ๐ is safe in most chats, calling someone a โlemonโ in English can imply theyโre disappointing or defective (like a bad car). Context really matters!
