I love/hate that "pickle" is defined through usage. Curious to know if that name has any meaning (e.g. python pickles are for long-term storage of ephemeral data), but not curious enough to watch a video just in case that's covered.
A pickle is a cucumber preserved in preservatives for long term storage, hence that name I think (and it start with P like python).
Just to expand on this:
> Pickling is the process of preserving or extending the shelf life of food by either anaerobic fermentation in brine or immersion in vinegar.
