In Dutch it's literally earth apple. Aardappel.

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 days ago

In parts of Germany, it's the same (Erdapfel), others say ground pear (Grundbirne) but don't compare apples with pears (it's our equivalent to apples and oranges)

Firemelon is a chilli pepper.

[-] justmercury@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 days ago

firemelon is a chile, too

[-] RandomStickman@fedia.io 33 points 3 days ago

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)

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 9 points 3 days ago

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 5 points 3 days 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 3 points 3 days ago

Also requesting there be a Xessex and Unessex

[-] wabasso@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

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 3 days ago

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

[-] CelloMike@lemmy.world 28 points 3 days ago

Cmon guys, "melements" is right there

[-] Karjalan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Yes, I think this meme is DoA with their decision to not use Melements.

[-] moakley@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

I'd have called them Melonments.

[-] Hupf@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago

Back in the day, we'd sit outside by the campfire, eating melons and look at this meme (printed out, smart phones weren't a thing yet).

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.

"Watermelon. Earthmelon. Firemelon. Airmelon. My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when the Avamelon kept balance between the melon tribes. But that all changed when the Firemelons attacked.

[-] grte@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 days ago

Excuse me? Where is heartmelon?

[-] Jimbabwe@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Eagerly Emulsifying Melonie's Elemenonade.

There, try that 5 times fast.

[-] Jimbabwe@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Whatabout when you cut a hole in it and force a bunch of vodka in there?? I did it at work once..

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

[-] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 4 points 3 days ago

Good ol' rage comic memes making a come back!

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days 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
[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Im not high enough for this

[-] boogiebored@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

instead only lulumelons

[-] toynbee@piefed.social 3 points 3 days ago

Flame-o, hotmelon.

[-] lime@feddit.nu 3 points 3 days ago

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

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 3 days ago

Tumbleweed is a wind melon
