They would come out of nowhere, 10 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,240 and usually sometimes they actually made sense.

My name is Arrow. 19 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:13,359 Let's talk turkey. Turkey, Yeah, turkey. The turkey appears in 20 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,519 our daily life more than what we think it does. 21 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,799 One good example, Wow, they quit cold Turkey. You see 22 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,439 turkey talk. This study was researched by my very good 23 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,920 and creative friend, Todd Carlson. Todd writes, talk turkey is 24 00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:32,159 rumored to have started during the colonial times. We've all 25 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,079 heard those stories about the travelers from Afar who sat 26 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,760 down for the very first time with Native Americans, meaning 27 00:01:37,799 --> 00:01:40,079 those that were here before the rest of us Native 28 00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:43,400 as in America. It was the Native Americans who are 29 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,280 said to have negotiated with the settlers. You know, talk turkey, 30 00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:51,719 speaking frankly as well as seriously. No, talk turkey is 31 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,319 what they said. Other historians have followed a different urban 32 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,799 legend based on the price of turkeys. During the colonial days, 33 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,439 the wild turkey was seen as being valuable. It was 34 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,640 around eighteen forty that talking turkey was hailed as a 35 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,120 nonsense negotiation tail. Here are some of those famous turkey lines. 36 00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:16,759 Gobble till you wobble. Gravy is the tur key to 37 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,280 your heart. Leftovers are for quitters. Where do turkeys go 38 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,879 when they die? The gravy yard. I'd like to cut 39 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,960 back on Thanksgiving leftovers, but I can't cut back cold turkey. 40 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,280 Nobody puts gravy in the corner. Turkey red turkey white 41 00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:39,080 turkey didn't get one bite. Aye yee ay, turkey, brown turkey, green. 42 00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:42,199 Turkey wants a giant TV screen. I've heard that before 43 00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:48,120 Turkey say eat it before it gets cold. The goal 44 00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:51,639 has always been to do everything you can to clear 45 00:02:51,879 --> 00:02:56,319 the air. Talkin' turkey something our parents would say.
