Watermelon Sugar

This word became a much more popular search term after the release of a song called Watermelon Sugar High by the UK artist Harry Styles in 2019

There has been much debate over what, if any, product or item this song has been referencing.

The most popular theory is that he's singing about an old variety of heroin that was widely used in Georgia in the late 80's - however, he would have been unable to experience the effects of this narcotic as it was certainly unavailable by the time 2019 rolled around.

Luckily, there seems to be a more realistic and likely theory to explain what this unknown item could be.

He would seem to be singing about a particular variety of high strength cannabis extract called Sugar Crumble which can come in Watermelon flavor.

Sugar crumble is named for it's crystalline structure and crumble type of appearance. It's one of many similar cannabis extract varieties such as shatter, wax, crumble and whip - each named for their look or structural design

Sugar Shack

According to the song, 'Sugar Shack' (1962 by Keith McCormack and Jimmy Torres), it is what "everybody calls" a certain beatnik hang-out. It's hard to say what the writers intention was, other than to evoke a kind of hip vibe to a rather pedestrian love song.

"Shack" is a nickname that was used for any kind of eatery, especially a roadside restaurant that might have a limited menu, like 'taco shack', 'burger shack', 'hotdog shack'; literally, a 'sugar shack' would sell sugar.

At the time 'Sugar' was also drug slang for heroin, perhaps because of it's white color.

In the song, the singer is infatuated with a 'girlie' who is a waitress in leotards and barefoot, who works at a shabby coffeehouse located 'beyond the tracks', suggesting a seedy area.

Heroin addicts at the time were known to frequent coffee houses rather than bars (because alcohol and heroin can lead to death from decreased heart rate). But it is unlikely that the writer was trying to disguise a heroin reference, but rather use the name as an all-knowing, hipster nod to the drug world. The use of the name in this way would be ironic -as a knowing (perhaps derogatory) term for a hang-out that also happened to attract heroin users, even though the management and help might merely be indifferent or tolerant of those addicts who had a natural attraction to such a place, just like cockroaches are drawn to a dirty sink.

Sugar Flicker

A person with extremely small fingers or hands which are ideal for sowing clothes and knitwear. Thier hands are so small that things as little as a grain of sugar can get in the way of their intricate task. Therefore they flick them away. Hence the name 'Sugar Flicker'.
"By gosh! Look at those tiny yellow hands on Dave!"

"I know, I'm starting to wonder if he comes from a Sugar Flicker family!"

Watermelon Sugar

Watermelon Sugar is a metaphor for something that just does not exist. It seems plausible, because artificial watermelon flavor usually has sugar added. But an actual watermelon has no sugar, in fact people add salt instead. So it could also possibly be an ironic example that is substituting sugar for salt .
She is just too good to be true, she's watermelon sugar.

She appears to be sweet, but at closer taste most definitely salty.
