cucumber
cucumber meaning
A green cucumber, sometimes shown sliced. It stands for salad, freshness and coolness — cool as a cucumber is one of the oldest similes still in circulation. It also evokes spa days and skincare, thanks to the cliché of slices over the eyes, and it is a fixture of Greek salad, tzatziki and pickles.

It also evokes spa days and skincare, thanks to the cliché of slices over the eyes, and it is a fixture of Greek salad, tzatziki and pickles. It occasionally carries suggestive connotations, though far less reliably than the aubergine.
