Gherkins are like tiny cucumbers and always served pickled. They're not nearly as unpleasant as pickled onions.
 
Duh. Some of us don't put pickles for all eternity in jars created to survive a nuclear apocalypse.

Some of us eat them as they pick them from the garden.
 
So did I get it correctly?
cucumber: long and small diameter

gherkin: shorter but larger diameter

pickles: up to the size of gherkins and usually pickled

Hmm. I'd say that you should just limit it to pickled cucumbers, i.e cucumbers currently in a jar, and everything else.
 
All this cucumber vs pickle vs gherkin business is confusing.

The Polish word for pickle is ogorek - which sort of sounds like gherkin. But as far as I know it is meant to describe all 3 varieties: pickle, cucumber, and gherkin. But I do not specialize in green elongated vegetables, so I could be wrong.
 
Mmm... pickles. I bought a pint of pickles from the local burger shop (yeah, they sell burgers, beer, and pickles), they are amazing.

Cucumbers deserve to go into hamburgers, not secreted away in brine-filled jars for all eternity.
 
Samex, those "gherkins" look more like marrows, whereas those "pickles" look much closer to gherkins.
 
A picture is worth a thousand words.

Anything else that contains even the slightest shade of yellow is heresy and must be purged.
 
Looks like feta to me.

Which I eat quite a lot of, because it's cheap. It's rather on the salty side, though.
 
Byzantine and awesome are synonyms.
