A phrase from a popular story where a flute player practices too much and ends up hating the thing she loves. After being given a pickle that "gets rid of problems" she attempts to play for the king and her flute disappears. Meaning her problem became her flute. This concert happened to be on a Tuesday in the story. This is used to say do not lose the enjoyment of doing something by doing it too much.

Friend 1: I just can't seem to wanna play this game anymore, I just get too stressed and always wanna win.
Friend 2: Well, they always say 'if there's a pickle in your pocket it is probably tuesday'. You should probably just play for fun before it ruins your love for playing.

Pickle Pocketing

Reverse pick pocketing, traditionally the act of putting a pickle in someones pocket but now refers to sneaking anything into someone’s pocket without them noticing.

“Dude someone pickle pocketed me with a cactus succulent the other day and I’ve been pulling needles out of my fingers ever since.” “Dude no way! I’m totally doing that the next time I’m out Pickle Pocketing!”
