Note
The plural is regular, and it is the form for whole fruits you can count: a truck loaded with watermelons. When you mean the flesh as food, the mass noun usually serves instead, as in a bowl of watermelon. The plural also carries the slang uses: a derogatory label for green-leaning socialists and a crude word for breasts. Context, not form, tells them apart.
