AVOCADO
Did you know that....?
The word avocado <a href="http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=avocado&searchmode=none" style="color: rgb(24, 95, 125);">comes from the Aztec word, "ahuacatl,"</a> which means testicle. Aside from the similar shape, avocados also act as aphrodisiacs, foods that stimulate sex drive. I propose we un-complicate the story and rename them "testicle fruit.
