"This vacuum doesn't suck!! Here's the problem! There's a hole in the hose. Instead of returning it, I'll just lemon-rig it with duct tape."
"That's a brand new car!! Are you seriously going to lemon-rig it with red fingernail polish instead of sending it back for a paint job?"
"...But I just bought these chairs and they are scratching up my floors! The end caps are cheap! The metal is poking through! I don't want to waste time sending them back; besides, I love these chairs and we have a party in two days! I'll go to the hardware store and buy some decent end caps. Why waste time when I can just lemon-rig it?"

Get the Lemonmug. A lemon is a joke that is squeezed dry, usually a one-time joke but is occasionally mentioned again. These jokes have every last droplet of humour squeezed out of them.
(long joke here)
“YEAH BUT TURNS OUT HIS LAPTOP ISN’T EVEN TURNED ON”
“HAHAHAHAHA”
“HAHAHA- wait. guys... this is a lemon.”
