As a Noun: 1. A tropical fruit in the shape of a pear with a dark green skin and a large stone inside it. English = avocado. Note: 1. This sign was first introduced as part of vocabulary building exercises for Signed English in Education. It is now accepted by many Auslan signers, but not all. (Some signers may have a different sign for avocado.) If you also fingerspell AVOCADO the first time you use this sign, you will make your meaning clearer to anyone unfamiliar with it.
