Wikipedia: Cucumber
Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) is a widely-cultivated creeping vine plant in the Cucurbitaceae family that bears usually cylindrical fruits, which are used as culinary vegetables. Considered an annual plant, there are three main varieties of cucumber — slicing, pickling, and burpless/seedless — within which several cultivars have been created.

Reminded me of one I hit my wife with last week.
She wanted me to get a cucumber at the store.
Just one, I ask.
Her: yes
Me: then you want a cumber
Her: what?
Me: can’t have a queue with only one
