Honeycrisp Apple

/HUN-ee-krisp AP-ul/  n.
  1. 1. A cultivar of apple known for its robust sweetness and satisfying crunch; particularly noteworthy when its form exceeds typical expectations, swelling with horticultural ambition.
  2. 2. colloq. An apple that doesn't just fill the fruit bowl, but dominates it with shameless circumference. She has a girth that defy a standard peeler.
In a sentence:

"He bit into a thiccc Honeycrisp apple, and the echo could be heard across the orchard. Juicy reverberations ensued."

Etymology:

From Middle English hony (sweet substance) + crisp (from Latin crispare, to curl), first introduced to the market in 1991. The name hints at innocence; the curves do not.

From the desk

Filed by

Teddy VanceJunior Cataloguer

Filed because this apple entered 1991 and has apparently been building toward something ever since.

Ruling PROVISIONAL

Bart PrussSenior Cataloguer

The crunch produced an echo. Acoustic response is not a measurement, but it is documentation. Submit girth.

In the margin

Eliza HartwellStaff Writer

The etymology says the name hints at innocence. The entry then immediately says the curves do not. That is the fastest a fruit has ever contradicted its own name.

JonCirculation Manager

Circulation notes that the 1991 introduction date is confirmed and the echo is uncontested.
