I'm going to assume here that you know what an Avocado is. If not, then you have problems that this blog cannot solve for you. Mostly the absence of great deliciousness in your world.
They're delicious. They're fun to cut (to me, anyway). They can be smooshed and mixed with spices to create the perfect thing to dip chips into. So, where does the word come from? Well, apparently, avocado is a Spanish bastardization of the Aztec word ahucatl. It's probably best that the Spanish didn't seem to know what this means. Testicle. It means testicle. I assume that, since Avocados are also sometimes called "alligator pears" (for obvious reasons), that what you're eating is alligator testicles. Delicious, soft, wrinkly alligator testicles.
