西瓜不是瓜

[xī guā bù shì guā]
A play on words. The literal meaning is 'Watermelon is not a melon'. In Chinese culture, watermelon (Xigua) indeed contains 'melon' in its name but belongs to the cucurbit family botanically, different from typical melons, highlighting linguistic quirks or misunderstandings in daily communication.
