- poor man's butter59%
A dated informal term with two distinct regional senses: the avocado (Caribbean, acknowledging it served a dietary role of butter for people without access to it) and margarine (British, derogatory, presenting it as a cheap imitation of real butter). The first sense reflects avocado's pre-luxury status; the second reflects class contempt for a manufactured substitute. Both senses are now largely historical.
