I teach chemistry also but had not thought about the possibility that they were refering to the protons that will react with nucleophile compound, thus "stealing" electrons.

I was thinking about the base that is left, and is perfectly contempt with the electron density around the acid site (and could to some extent also be a Lewis base).

But Lewis acids have nothing to do with lemons yet I see your point !
