Thanks for your contributions. What problems are you having with synonyms?
And stinking toe is already in the dictionary, so you should be able to add a new definition if this is a different "stinking toe"

Spanish Ash in St.V. I knew of only 1 tree on the island and my neighbor had it. Basically a wild fruit that we ate and wondered if we would die afterwards🙈🙏🏻👻

Our locust or stinking toe( "tinking toe") is the fruit of the hymenaea courbaril tree. Vert tasty but smells like sweaty sneakers.

Sorry to tell you this, but what you have there is not locust. I grew up in Jamaica with a big locust tree behind my house. Locust is in a hard burgundy shell. You have to use a stone to break through to the creamy powdery flesh, which is wrapped around a single seed. It does have a pungent odour, hence the name, Stinking Toe. Google Jamaican locust for a more accurate picture. Best wishes

What type of misleading information is this? I was born and bread in Jamaica, and not once have I heard thinking to referred to a locust or visa versa. Locusts is a small green/greenish yellow fruit with its pulp on the outside and a small round seed on the inside. Stinking Toe may be referred to as locust but NOT IN JAMAICA.
