berry
Small pulpy fruit
A berry is a small, fleshy fruit—strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries.
In botanical terms, a berry is specifically a fruit with seeds embedded in flesh, which excludes strawberries but includes tomatoes and grapes.
Common usage ignores this technicality.
We picked berries all afternoon.
Berry also appears as slang: nice berries can mean attractive breasts or testicles, depending on context. (Capitalized Berry is a surname.)
