Cucumbers are melons. But that has me questioning if melons are fruit and I don't want to google it, I just want to be angry.

Ackchually, cucumbers are berries. Cucumber and melons belong to the same family, they are kind of siblings.

Berries are berries, like corn, and unlike blueberries, which are a fruit.

When they say a girl has nice melons, they don't mean her boobs are shaped like cucumber, that's for damn sure.

It means that both women and men can have nice melon(s)

On a related note: Cucumbers in fruit salad are great for moderating sweetness (or the bitterness of grapefruits). Other veg I like to put in fruit salad include lightly sweet veg like carrot and sweet potato.
