Medlars for Dummies

noun


What does Medlars really mean?

42 1

Hey there! So, "medlars" is actually a type of fruit. It's kind of like a small apple, but it's not as sweet. The flavor is more tart and kind of tangy. The fruit has a really interesting shape too - it's sort of like a big rosehip or a squashed pomegranate. But the thing that makes medlars really unique is that you can't eat them straight away when they're ripe. Nope, you have to let them get all soft and mushy before they're ready to eat. It's like they need to go through a little transformation first, kind of like how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly!

Oh, and there's another definition of "medlars" too. In some old-fashioned English, it's a word that means to gossip or chatter. So, you might hear someone say "stop medlaring about other people's business!" and it means to stop talking about things that aren't your concern. So, that's an interesting little twist to the word!

So, there you go - "medlars" can mean both a type of fruit and also gossiping or chattering. Pretty cool, right? And the next time you see a medlar at the store or hear someone using the word in conversation, you'll know exactly what they're talking about! Cool, huh?
