Do you "clean" your watermelon?

This is just curiosity on my part.  When Cliff's sisters buy a watermelon, they cut it and chop up the whole thing in one- to two-inch hunks, throwing away the rind.  They put the chopped-up watermelon in a closed container and say, "I cleaned the watermelon."  
It wasn't dirty!  
That's what I think every time they say that.  
So I'm taking a poll:  Do any of my readers do this with their watermelon?  Do you call it "cleaning the watermelon?"  
I will post the link to this entry on Facebook, so some people will answer me there.  
I have to know if I'm the oddball.  It seems so STRANGE to me!

    I cut our watermelon off the rind, but have never 'cleaned'it. Mostly I do that so it takes up less room in the fridg.

  4. Nope, no cleaning here. Cutting up, yes. But then I hate watermelon, so I don't deal with it anyway.

  5. I've always chopped mine up - otherwise it doesn't get eaten. When we have guests it disappears in a couple of hours!

  7. OH MY! The best part is eating it off the rind. At least it was. Now that I'm older I spoon every bit I can get. Blessings, Penny

  9. Never cleaned my watermelon. I cut it up so its easier to grab a bowl to nibble on. Interesting how some others describe it. Wendy

  11. Well I never thought it would be called that. Never heard that. To me, to clean a watermelon is to wash the dirt off. lol
