There is more too guacamole than meets the eye. Not only does it have this delicious concoction you call "smushed avocado" but it also has tomato, onion, and lemon/lime juice.
I have no idea why it is called guacamole. I think it is Spanish for smushed avocado.

because there are other ingredients in guacamole,than just smushed avocados. Try some rotel,chopped onion,crushed cumin, and lemon juice to keep it from turning dark. Also ,some chopped fresh jalapenos for those who like it hot!

There's more to than that. You need to add some salt and lime juice, onion or onion powder, jalapeno or cayenne pepper. Some put tomato in it.
Smushed avocado, it's not just for breakfast anymore.

Actually the word comes from Guaca, "avacado" and mole, "thick sauce" (as in Mole Poblano). The full Spanish word for avocado is not 'guaca' but 'aguacate' from Aztec/Navajo 'aguacatl'. In Spanish, the word 'avocado' sounds like "abogado," which means 'lawyer'.

Because it's not just smashed avocado -- it's usually combined with cilantro, onions, tomatoes (sometimes peppers, garlic, lime, salt, etc.)
