sweet lemons 

An idiom that is roughly the inverse of "sour grapes", though much rarer: insisting that something unpleasant is in fact desirable, esp. if it was actively sought for earlier.

"I know the guy's miserable at work, but he keeps telling me he loves it. Sweet lemons, right?"

Washing Lemons 

Slang for the sexual act of rimming. Stemming from a confusing UK health debate regarding both the use of fungicides on lemons and how to remove them before consumption and that of rectal parasite risks involved in anilingus.

I was Washing Lemons with my wife last night, She had not wiped the rim though. I gagged as she moaned.
