Tips to remember the French word ‘avocat’:
1. Think of an avocado wearing a lawyer’s robe or holding a briefcase – this creates a visual link as ‘avocat’ can mean both ‘avocado’ and ‘lawyer’.
2. Associate the sound of ‘avocat’ with ‘advocate’, as they are pronounced similarly and have related meanings.

Explanations:
– ‘Avocat’ refers to both the fruit and the legal profession in French, just like ‘avocado’ and ‘advocate’ are similar in English.

Other words that mean the same thing:
– For the legal profession, synonyms include ‘juriste’ (legal expert, more broadly) and ‘défenseur’ (defender, more generally).
– For the fruit, there are no synonyms, but it can often be found linguistically lumped in with “le fruit” or “la nourriture” (food).

Alternate meanings like slang:
– In slang, there isn’t a commonly known alternate slang meaning for ‘avocat’.

Examples of sentences that use it:
1. Legal profession context: “J’ai rendez-vous avec mon avocat demain pour discuter de mon affaire.” (I have a meeting with my lawyer tomorrow to discuss my case.)

2. Fruit context: “Pour le dîner, je prépare une salade avec des tomates, des oignons et un avocat mûr.” (For dinner, I’m preparing a salad with tomatoes, onions, and a ripe avocado.)
