I guess I deserved that.  Whose Idea was it to call the sexfics "Lemons"
anyway?

Gee, the only thing I can think of is "The Lemon Song" by Led Zeppelin.

"Squeeze my lemon 'til the juice runs down my leg. Squeeze it so hard I
fall right out of bed..." Well, you get the idea. Not the soaring
pinnacle of good taste that you might expect from Zepp. The lines also
appear in "Travellin' Riverside Blues," I believe.

A bit embarrassed,

The term "LEMON" derives from a series of Ecchi anime OVA's entitled "Cream
Lemon" - exactly why it was called that is uncertain, but the prime
requirement of a story for the series was that it feature gratuitous sexual
activity.  Hence the connection to "lamon" fanfics.
