“In season”: use in context explanation
At the street market 2 sellers are selling fruit and vegetables. The first one is a man and has a wide range of fruit and vegetables to offer. The other seller is a beautiful lady who only has oranges, which are out of season. Nevertheless, all the customers stand in a queue to buy the oranges. One of the customers says he wants to buy oranges because they are in season but it’s obviously not true. Oranges are not in season in the summer. He is obviously standing there for a different reason… 😉
