Pineapple

/PYN-ap-ul/  n.
  1. 1. A tropical bromeliad fruit (Ananas comosus) of pronounced structural ambition: broad at the base, armored in interlocking plates, and crowned with a spiky topknot that does nothing for the silhouette and everything for the attitude. The midsection is load-bearing. This is not a metaphor.
  2. 2. slang. Fruit that arrived at the party already overdressed below the equator. The crown is a formality. Everything south of it is the argument.
In a sentence:

"The thiccc pineapple at the Honolulu farmers' market sat on the table like it had already won. The vendor stopped quoting prices and just pointed."

Etymology:

From early modern English pineapple (1660s), coined by European explorers who saw a fruit shaped like a pine cone and named it accordingly, which suggests they were looking at the top and ignoring the rest. Characteristic.

From the desk

Filed by

Teddy VanceJunior Cataloguer

The midsection is described as load-bearing and I think that is a structural assessment, not a fruit description.

Ruling PROVISIONAL

Bart PrussSenior Cataloguer

Admitted pending confirmation that the interlocking plates are hexagonal and not merely described as hexagonal by someone who was excited.
