The elongated tropical fruit, wrapped in a yellow peel cover, is botanically listed as a Berry.
With Monkeys known as infamous fans of this berry, My ASL Dictionary uses a cartoon of the English actor, singer, and member of the television pop band the Monkees, Davy Jones. The pop star dressed in a bright banana-yellow top illustrates the ASL hand sign for BANANA.
Modified O hand pulls/slides down the opposite index finger twice, like peeling a banana.

This post is also a correction to errors in the dictionary. The description lists the F hand (which can be used for the Banana hand sign), but the illustration uses the modified O hand. Mimes is also misspelled as Mimz (an error missed by the editor)
