1. A cultivar of Cucumis melo of the inodorus group, characterized by a smooth, pale ivory rind and a dense, cream-colored flesh packed into a near-perfect oblate sphere; esp. one whose full equatorial girth reads, at any angle, as a formal accusation.
2.colloq. Produce that shows up to the fruit bowl and immediately makes every other item reconsider its life choices. The rind is the outfit. The heft is the argument.
In a sentence:
"The honeydew melon at the Costco sample station was so thiccc that three separate shoppers stopped their flatbed carts to pay their respects. The produce section went quiet, the way a room goes quiet."
Etymology:
From honey (Old English hunig, the sweet secretion of bees, attested before the 12th century) + dew (Old English deaw, atmospheric moisture, similarly ancient) + melon (Middle English, from Old French, from Late Latin melo, contracted from melopepo, from Greek melopepon, meaning 'apple-gourd'). The Greeks named it for an apple. They had clearly never held one.
The oblate sphere and equatorial girth are documented and sufficient. 'Near-perfect' is editorial flattery and the catalogue does not award points for almost.
Yes. Honeydew Melon was admitted to the Thiccctionary on July 17, 2026 and filed in the Produce & Botanical section. The ruling on file: Admitted under protest. Every subject in the catalogue is judged on its curves, not its size.
What makes a honeydew melon thiccc?
Produce that shows up to the fruit bowl and immediately makes every other item reconsider its life choices. The rind is the outfit. The heft is the argument.
Is "thiccc" spelled with three c's?
Yes. The Thiccctionary house spelling uses three c's, distinguishing the editorial register from the colloquial "thicc" (two c's) and standard "thick" (one c).
