Maybe millenials will start hanging a pair of them from their hitches
(those with 1 ton dually diesels)?  At least they will be etymologically
correct!

Just add toast.

Avocados in Spanish are aguacates.  The slang word for testículos is "huevos" or eggs.  Also "cojones" which doesn't mean anything else as far as I know.  Wearing eggs on your belt would be risky.

While I guess that's better than prurient!

Maybe.

I would have to check the etymology of the two words before being sure.
