I read this book of mistakes from students' essays and exams and one of them had said a gherkin was a native who ran about with a knife. I was in Culinary School at the time, and thought about that. I figured out that a chef was a native who ran about with a knife! We used them all the time and we were constantly being told by chefs and eachother NOT to run or walk around with them! :-)
