Avocado: Avocado (Avocado scientific name: Butyrospermum parkii?Kotschy).

In English, the avocado used to be called alligator pear instead of avocado, which translates to "avocado," and its rough, dark-green skin does resemble that of a fierce crocodile.

The avocado also has a lesser name, aguacate, which is Spanish for testicle. At the time, the Avocado Growers Association protested, saying the name was ruining the industry, so at the association's suggestion, alligator pear and aguacate were changed to the more upmarket avocado.
