Pickle is Chris's euphemism for "penis" (typically in the context of a penis other than his own). He and Sonichu (because he's a Mary Sue) both hate penises due to Chris's intense sexual insecurity, to the point that they hate literal pickled cucumbers as well.
He is easily provoked by fan art suggesting that Rosechu has a pickle, although it is difficult for him to retaliate since that would require him to actually look at the dreaded vegetable.
Coincidentally, one of Chris's most notorious enemies is the "Man in the Pickle Suit" who has frequently tricked him into, among other things, releasing photos of his pickle.
Possibly due to troll usage of the term, Chris has seemed to use the term less often in 2009 though occasionally referring to his picklephobia in works such as Sonichu Special 1.
Pickled cucumbers

Aside from his hatred of metaphorical pickles, it is also well documented that Christian has a long-standing aversion to the delicious cucumbers pickled in brine, going as far back to some of the earlier material documented in his scrapbook. Receipts from his trip to Ohio in search of Julie show that he specifically orders his fast-food hamburgers without pickles. Even images of pickles bother him - the picklish ad banners placed on CWCipedia in November 2009 provoked an angry response.
Whether this is because pickles remind him, even when sliced and under the bun of a sandwich, of cocks, or whether he simply has an aversion to foods with a strong taste or smell, remains to be seen. Considering his diet, pickles may simply be too much flavor for a man who has notoriously bland tastes to handle.
References to pickles
Chris's virulent hatred of pickles was one of the first weaknesses discovered by trolls, all the way back in the fall of 2007. When the 4chan artist Evan contacted Chris with a collection of "fan art" drawn by denizens of /v/ - in which, 4chan being 4chan, images of Rosechu with a penis figured prominently - Chris memorably replied "Rosechu IS A GIRL; SHE NEVER HAD A FREAKIN' PICKLE!!!!"
Since then, Chris has made a number of references to pickles in his comics and YouTube videos, partly on his own and partly due to trollish instigation.
- In his CWC "Boyfriend" video, Chris makes several references to pickles, albeit in the context of his enemy the Man in the Pickle Suit.
- He also blamed the Pickle Man for his woes in his video of October 21 2008.
- The "slander ray" wielded by the comic-book Clyde Cash in Sonichu Special 1 resembles a pickle with a gun barrel attached to one end.
- Chris's nemesis Jason Kendrick Howell, in Sonichu 8, declares "Go and play with your pickle!" before throwing a pickle at Rosechu. Her response is unwarranted to say the least.
- Sonichu himself has hated pickles since as far back as Sonichu 0, drawn long before Chris was ever trolled through his fear of pickles. There, our hero was frozen with terror after encountering pickles while dining with Rosechu at "Burger Krunch." The panel where this took place was later re-drawn as the "Sonichu & Aqua Teens" illustration.

Chris isn't the only one to be afflicted by this fear:
