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. 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.
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.
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.
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.
Also requesting there be a Xessex and Unessex
Is the Winter and East thing a forced coincidence in search of the quadfecta, or is there actually colder climate in eastern China(?) ?
It’s not forced, just a coincidence. There are loads of homophones in Chinese so it’s easy to make puns like that.
Earthmelon is a potato
Firemelon is a chilli pepper.
No a potato is an apple of the earth.
French is weird.
I have four-twenties and nineteen reasons why
French give me your drugs
In Dutch it’s literally earth apple. Aardappel.
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 chile, too
Cmon guys, “melements” is right there
Yes, I think this meme is DoA with their decision to not use Melements.
Right. The elemelonments
Now you ruined it
Perfect !
I’d have called them Melonments.
There are a lot of foods that causes wind when i eat them.
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.
