因為這是 pun。

Cool 在這裡是雙關語,字面上是溫度低的意思,
小黃瓜常常冰冰的食用(敷臉好像也是冰冰的?)。

Answer to BookBrowse Wordplay

Question:

C As A C

Answer :

Cool As A Cucumber

Meaning :

To be serene and unflappable

Source

Cucumbers are a popular summer ingredient and have the image of being
cool/fresh to eat and therefore an antidote to the heat. Thus the simile
has come to symbolize coldness or aloofness. An early reference comes
from Cupid's Revenge by Fletcher and Beaumont (1615) who wrote "young
maids were as cold as Cowcumbers".

還有個原因是cool和cucumber壓頭韻,稱為alliteration或initial rhyme。類似例子有:
(來自「實用英文片語和慣用語」;Richard A. Spears原著,黃方怡 譯)

as blind as a bat
as busy as a bee
as dead as a dodo/doornail
as fit as a fiddle
as good as gold
as pretty as a picture
as proud as a peacock
as mad as a March hare
as snug as a bug in a rug→這是押尾韻rhyme
