No a potato is an apple of the earth.
French is weird.
I have four-twenties and nineteen reasons why
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
Firemelon is a chilli pepper.
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.
Cmon guys, "melements" is right there
Right. The elemelonments
Now you ruined it
Perfect !
I'd have called them Melonments.
Yes, I think this meme is DoA with their decision to not use Melements.
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.

The show isn't going to be like I remember if Captain Planet doesn't have his heart on! :(
The quintessential melon
This is woodmelon and metalmelon erasure
Excuse me? Where is heartmelon?
With Our Melons Combined.. we form.. Captain Porno!!
Whatabout when you cut a hole in it and force a bunch of vodka in there?? I did it at work once..
Okay now do it to a ham and make them fight
I prefer Elemenopee
Some of us just call it lemonade
elemenonade
Good ol' rage comic memes making a come back!
Elemenop
Im not high enough for this
Flame-o, hotmelon.
"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.
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.
Tumbleweed is a wind melon
Oooh that's a fun one. I mean they probably are technically edible but thats a brave individual to try haha
Locusts are windmelon. Or windmills.
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).
There are a lot of foods that causes wind when i eat them.
windmelon is just a watermelon that has been sitting too long before you eat it
