melon
Sweet rinded fruit
A melon is a large, fleshy fruit with a thick rind and juicy interior, typically eaten fresh.
Cantaloupes, honeydews, and watermelons are common varieties.
The word extends to other rounded objects—in slang, melons can mean a woman's breasts or, less commonly, a person's head.
In finance, to cut a melon is to distribute profits or dividends.
