    So I figured I would google it, evidently some USian reference… First few links were to when students drop out of Uni or other tertiary education, apparently they are referred to as turkeys, and turkey dropouts. For some reason. Or alternatively they break up with their partners.

    But apparently that is a reference to dropping live turkeys out of a helicopter in a sitcom. It sounds somewhat bloodthirsty, and I do not want to see such a thing, though I can imagine… Terrifyingly that is apparently a reference to a real world event of dropping live turkeys from the back of a moving truck…

    Okay. Huh.

    I knew Americans were weird about turkeys and have a holiday set aside for them, but this seems ridiculous somehow.
