Jackfruit

/JAK-froot/  n.
  1. 1. A tropical fruit of real heft, often exceeding 20 kilograms, characterized by a robust, knobby exterior and an interior teeming with bulbous, fibrous delights.
  2. 2. colloq. A natural specimen that won't go unnoticed, particularly when seen from behind, where its impressive girth resists a quick summary.
In a sentence:

"The thiccc jackfruit hangs from the branch, its silhouette redefining the concept of abundance. The branch was just along for the ride."

Etymology:

From Portuguese 'jaca', derived from Malayalam 'chakka'. A fruit so thiccc, it needed a name that could carry the weight.

From the desk

Filed by

Teddy VanceJunior Cataloguer

A fruit exceeding 20 kilograms that hangs from a branch like the branch had no say.

Ruling PROVISIONAL

Bart PrussSenior Cataloguer

The knobby exterior and bulbous interior structure are documentable. The branch's role in this arrangement needs clarification before final admission.

Eliza HartwellStaff Writer

The entry says the branch was just along for the ride. That is the most accurate thing we have ever published about load distribution.

Also received REJECTED

Spider HennessyField Correspondent

Submitted: a telephone pole. Like the jackfruit it stands tall and carries weight for the whole neighborhood, structurally speaking.

Bart PrussSenior Cataloguer

It is a pole. It is thin. The catalogue is closed.
