It's a fruit - here's the vegetable confusion:

The word 'avocado' comes from the Spanish word aguacate, which derives in turn from the Nahuatl (Aztec) word ahuacatl, meaning 'testicle', because of its shape. Historically avocados had a long-standing stigma as a sexual stimulant and were not purchased or consumed by any person wishing to preserve a chaste image. Growers had to sponsor a public relations campaign to debunk the avocado's unsavory reputation before they eventually became popular. Avocados were known by the Aztecs as 'the fertility vegetable'.[

Biologically it is a fruit since only fruits contain seeds.
But so is corn!!
And TOMATOES are fruits (but legally they have been ruled to be vegetables)!!!

They are ALL good, so enjoy.
Just remember that avocados as well as buttered corn have a bunch of (delicious) calories.
