"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 Lemon mug.Is basically the same as a regular wedgee but it is performed by pulling up the front of the underwear (Lemon is for the Pee stain).
As Dave and Bobby were hiding in the closet from their Uncle Dan.
As Uncle Dan stood at the closet door, Paul snuck up behind and proceeded to give him a “LEMON WEDGEE” he’d never forget.
