An old synonym for snake is serpent (which comes from Old French, and ultimately from *serp-, "to creep")

Would you prefer if we called them Pickles?
If we did, the word "Pickles" would cause the same reaction in people that the word "snakes" does.
"My brother is in the hospital. He was out hiking and stepped on a poisonous pickle and it bit him on the ankle. Luckily the doctors were able to determine which kind of pickle bit him and gave him the appropriate pickle anti venom.
His leg still hurts, but he's determined that no pickle alive will stop him from going hiking. He wants to get some new boots in heavy enough leather that the pickle can't bite through it."
