On the one hand, we must bear in mind that previously this slang was already used to point an unattractive woman or sour or even to qualify a car with hidden defects. Nevertheless, the fact is that, having relation or not with the previous thing, the use of this lesbian slang appeared in Australia from 1980. In this sense, some say that the use of this word is derived from a phonetic similarity between a certain way of pronouncing the word lesbian and lemon. Others say it has to do with a kind of anime called Cream Lemon, with lesbian content.
It is also worth mentioning that Lemonkind, an Australian lesbian support group, states that “we call ourselves lemons because we are sweet, juicy and tasty”As our Lemon drawing, available to print on light and dark background. Do you Like it?
