In CR4 parlance, an avatar is, (from the CR4 Site Glossary):

Avatar

An image or icon representing the user that shows up in the user description within posts and replies. You can upload an avatar through your user profile, or select one from the stock avatar list.

The dictionary says,

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/avatar

Wiki says,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar

Around here it is the icon for your profile, even engineers can be arrogant.

LOL! We get some classic avatars on this site and I must admit yours is one of my favorites! I grew one of them once!
