What π means
Most of the time π is literal: lemonade, lemon water, tea, cooking and baking. Figuratively it suggests sourness, as in a sour reaction to bad news, or the phrase "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade" about making the best of a hard situation. In American English a "lemon" is also slang for a faulty car or product that keeps breaking. BeyoncΓ© fans link it to her album Lemonade. In India, a lemon with green chillies is hung at doors and on vehicles to keep away the evil eye, so ππΆοΈ can refer to that custom.
