The quintessential melon

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

The show isn't going to be like I remember if Captain Planet doesn't have his heart on! :(

[–] RandomStickman@fedia.io 23 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

In Chinese watermelon is called 西瓜(west melon) and wintermelon is 冬瓜 (winter melon) but the first word sounds like 東 (east). Pumpkins are called 南瓜 (south melon) and in some places a certain squash is called 北瓜 (north melon)

[–] wabasso@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Is the Winter and East thing a forced coincidence in search of the quadfecta, or is there actually colder climate in eastern China(?) ?

[–] RandomStickman@fedia.io 2 points 54 minutes ago

It's not forced, just a coincidence. There are loads of homophones in Chinese so it's easy to make puns like that.

When I was a kid, I used to live near places called Sussex and Essex.

I never encountered Nussex nor Wessex and that troubles me.

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Wessex was a kingdom in Britain. And it's an area of London. There is also Middlesex as well. But I can't find a norssex.

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 3 points 1 hour ago

Sure, I get all that, but I didn't grow up in that area. I grew up near other direction-sexes.

South doesn't start with "Su," so I assume North-sex (in this context) wouldn't start with "Nor." In fact, I looked this up and found this interesting article, which is perhaps not academically correct (I don't know) but shows that my reasoning is not isolated.

[–] wabasso@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago

Also requesting there be a Xessex and Unessex

No a potato is an apple of the earth.

In Dutch it's literally earth apple. Aardappel.

Im not high enough for this

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 hours ago

Stupid English. I read "windmelon" as wind(1), not wind(2). I couldn't figure out how you could wind a melon.

  1. as in turning and twisting
  2. as in moving air
[–] grte@lemmy.ca 9 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Excuse me? Where is heartmelon?

[–] Jimbabwe@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago

With Our Melons Combined.. we form.. Captain Porno!!

Watermelon. Earthmelon. Firemelon. Airmelon.

Long ago, the four elemelons lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Watermelon attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elemelons, could stop them, but when the world needed it most, it vanished.

elemenonade

EDIT

Eagerly Emulsifying Melonie's Elemenonade.

There, try that 5 times fast.

I can't even do it once, haha!

[–] lime@feddit.nu 3 points 8 hours ago

windmelon is just a watermelon that has been sitting too long before you eat it

[–] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I can see something spicy as firemelon. Like ginger or something something bright like Tiger Melon.. Earthmelon makes me think of squash. Its windmelon that doesn't really conjure anything. I just see apples in my mind cause they falling apples and gravity.

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 7 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Tumbleweed is a wind melon

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Locusts are windmelon. Or windmills.

Oooh that's a fun one. I mean they probably are technically edible but thats a brave individual to try haha
