Buttermelons

Legend

"It is said that in ancient times, there was a fruit called a 'banana'. The legend tells of it's reign of power over the land. It corrupted those who were good. Then, a hero rose up against the challenge. He transformed the cursed fruit into a force of good, turning it's evil control into a beacon of hope. 'Here, have a buttermelon!', the nameless crusader said. Then, the dragon, keeper of the bananas, stood against him. 'Buttermelon? That is not a buttermelon. That is a banana! Not a buttermelon.' But then, through laughter and kindness, the dragon was converted. And from then on, buttermelons were not not a cursed figment of the void, but rather a ray of light, shining through the darkness of the world."


Origin

On October 20th, 2016, Ghost was playing with his kids. He played the part of Draco the hungry dragon, terrorizing the food. After some time, the kids offered Draco a banana, but called it a buttermelon. Draco attempted to correct them, but it was no use. The new word had been created!

The word's usage ever-increases, and so does it's power.

Icarus will sometimes react to messages containing 'buttermelon' or 'banana'. It also has the command `!buttermelon`, which will provide random facts about them.
