Field Pumpkin

/cur-cu-BI-ta PEE-po/  n.
  1. 1. A species of squash characterized by its full-bodied rotundity and deep, saturated coloring, often found taking up more than its fair share of the farmers market table.
  2. 2. colloq. Produce that brings its own gravitational field, with enough girth to make a hay bale feel decorative.
In a sentence:

"The farm market displayed a thiccc Cucurbita pepo, its curves demanding extra space on the straw. The hay bale beside her was purely structural."

Etymology:

From Latin curcubita (gourd), and the species name pepo from Latin pepo, meaning 'melon'. Nature decided that round was the new flat.

From the desk

Filed by

Teddy VanceJunior Cataloguer

The rotundity on this species is botanical, documented, and in my opinion genuinely aspirational for a gourd.

Ruling PROVISIONAL

Bart PrussSenior Cataloguer

The Latin pepo confirms round was the intended outcome. Verify the full-bodied claim against a measured specimen before the profile is logged.

The entry says the others just watched and learned. I am not going to ask what a pumpkin learned at a farmers market but I am thinking about it.
