The plant reproduces by containing seeds inside fleshy seed pod aka the cucumber.

Anything that arises from a flower (ovary) is a fruit...tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, etc. vegetative material is a vegetable (celery, lettuce, potato, etc)

It has something to do with their seeds and growing from a flower, like a tomato.
Man, we are really smart.

If you leave them “up there” long enough they become a pickle.

Fruits come from the flowering part of a plant and contain seeds. In contrast, vegetables are the edible parts of a plant, such as the leaves, stem, roots, and bulbs

What’s the backstory here? You were at the doctor’s office and happened to have a cucumber stuck up your arse? Asked the doctor if he could remove the vegetable when he says actually it’s a fruit.

Squash has seeds and come from flowers right? Are they a fruit? I've always thought they were firmly in the vegetable category.

Is a Seedless Watermelon a vegetable?

Smart is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing to never put it in a fruit salad.
