melon balls
Round fruit pieces
Melon balls are small spheres of melon flesh scooped out with a specialized tool called a melon baller.
They appear in fruit salads, cocktails, and decorative arrangements: She garnished the punch bowl with melon balls.
The plural also functions as a mild, playful expletive expressing frustration: Oh, melon balls, I forgot the tickets.
