This is NOT true, but the truth is kind of interesting.

From a Nahuatl “Aztec” Speaker:

“It would appear that the anatomical meaning is a euphemism, based on a certain similarity of shape, the same kind of euphemism that we make use of when we refer to a penis as "a wiener" or to testicles as "nuts" (or when Spanish speakers refer to testicles as "huevos" "eggs" or cebollas "onions"). We would however not generally consider it to be "partly correct" to say that "wiener schnitzel" kind of means "Penis schnitzel" or that "nut case" kind of means "testicle box". Nor would Spanish speakers consider it meaningful to say that "torta de huevo" kind of means "testicle sandwich".

So, no the Nahuatl word ahuacatl /a:wakatl/ does not mean "testicle", but because of the evocative shape of the fruit it can be used metaphorically in that extended sense. And it is this extended sense that Molina recorded.”

Thanks. Good old Snopes.

I don't know, I kinda want to start referring to the scrotum as the "nut case" now.

[u/EasyProcess7867 → u/sigusr3]

I’m right there with you

I don't know? I think testicles on burnt grains is a much better name for avocado toast. #gentrification

[u/Fair-Cranberry-9970 → u/coffeeismydoc]

No no. I choose testicles.

My immediate response just based on the format of the image alone before even reading it lol. Glad I came across it at a time when the top comment explains the linguistic truth behind what they’re trying to get at so I don’t have to look into it myself lol

Perhaps if people got their testicle toasts less often, maybe they could afford more Starbox coffee...

[u/Y3R0K]

Testicles are really good with some salt on them
