watermelon

A watermelon is a sweet and refreshing fruit that grows on vines.

You've probably eaten watermelons at barbecues or picnics, right? They're super common during summer when they're in season. People love to slice them up and eat them fresh, often with a sprinkle of salt or a squeeze of lime juice. Watermelon is also used as a fun word for something that's cool and refreshing, like "That new pool was like a watermelon - so refreshing on a hot day!" But if you're talking about the fruit itself, you might see it in grocery stores, farmers' markets, or even growing in your neighbor's garden.
