Overcucumberance

noun

The uncomfortable state of having too many cucumbers in your possession at once, often resulting from an overzealous gardening season or an impulsive farmers' market spree.

Symptoms include:
- Refrigerator drawers that won't close properly
- Frantic late-night searches for pickle recipes
- The ability to make cucumber sandwiches, cucumber salad, and cucumber water simultaneously
- Friends who begin to avoid eye contact when they see you approaching with a tote bag

Not to be confused with "overencumberance," which is merely the boring state of carrying too much weight. Overcucumberance is specifically a vegetable-based predicament and is considerably more refreshing.
After planting six cucumber plants in her garden, Martha suffered from severe overcucumberance by August, desperately trying to pawn off grocery bags full of cucumbers on unsuspecting neighbors and coworkers.
