I came across these two sentences:
"- What a melonhead!
- I'd like to see you after picking a ton of melons!"
I need them to make sense together, because this is a dialogue. Unfortunately, there is no more context and the target language is European Portuguese.
Thanks in advance for your feedback!

abrótea
Se estiver tentada a utilizar um regionalismo, pode utilizar «abrótea», ou então «cabeça de alho chocho», que talvez fuja um pouco ao sentido da coisa... Não tenho a certeza de estar a interpretar correctamente o texto, falta-me um pouco mais de contexto, mas aqui tem uma achega.
Note from asker:
| Obrigada, o problema é mesmo a falta de contexto e o facto de ter de existir concordância entre as duas, senão podíamos utilizar palavras mais imaginativas... :D |
