This clue could be a double definition.

'left omen out' is the first definition.

'that's sharp' is the second definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lemon that I've seen before include "leaving bitter taste?" , "Melon (anag)" , "Melon is another fruit" , "Useless object" , "Fruit high in vitamin C" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Mirror.
