Plum

/plum/  n.
  1. 1. A stone fruit of noteworthy rotundity, often exhibiting a curvature that suggests it was sculpted by a particularly indulgent orchardist.
  2. 2. colloq. Fruit with a silhouette that won't be contained by a standard fruit bowl, opting instead to imply it's the reason the bowl exists.
In a sentence:

"Rafa's tree produced a thiccc plum that made the banana split look like an afterthought. The plate was merely a suggestion."

Etymology:

From Old English plūme, through Latin prunum, originally Greek proumnon, a fruit known for its stone-cold demeanor.

From the desk

Filed by

Teddy VanceJunior Cataloguer

The stone alone gives this fruit a structural core that most entries can only aspire to, honestly.

Ruling ADMITTED, WITH A FOOTNOTE

Bart PrussSenior Cataloguer

Admitted. The curvature is documentable and the stone is load-bearing in a way I cannot argue with.

In the margin

Eliza HartwellStaff Writer

Bart said the stone is load-bearing. The plum has been waiting for someone to notice that and did not thank him.
