a r r oe dot Net. Enjoy your exploration those
old sayings, phrases, idioms. You know those things your family
and friends would always say. They would come out of nowhere,
and usually sometimes they actually made sense. They had to
start somewhere, Who, where, why, when and how. Some of
those old scenes are not only ancient, but many of
them still carry a powerful punch today. In fact, I
live by one of those old saints. Live by this mantra.
Winning is a choice, but I'm in a bad mood.
A winning is a choice. Bad moods are a choice.
The goal of these episodes is to help preserve not
only a language, but lessons in life. My name is Arrow.
Let's talk turkey. Turkey, Yeah, turkey. The turkey appears in
our daily life more than what we think it does.
One good example, Wow, they quit cold Turkey. You see
turkey talk. This study was researched by my very good
and creative friend, Todd Carlson. Todd writes, talk turkey is
rumored to have started during the colonial times. We've all
heard those stories about the travelers from Afar who sat
down for the very first time with Native Americans, meaning
those that were here before the rest of us Native
as in America. It was the Native Americans who are
said to have negotiated with the settlers. You know, talk turkey,
speaking frankly as well as seriously. No, talk turkey is
what they said. Other historians have followed a different urban
legend based on the price of turkeys. During the colonial days,
the wild turkey was seen as being valuable. It was
around eighteen forty that talking turkey was hailed as a
nonsense negotiation tail. Here are some of those famous turkey lines.
Gobble till you wobble. Gravy is the tur key to
your heart. Leftovers are for quitters. Where do turkeys go
when they die? The gravy yard. I'd like to cut
back on Thanksgiving leftovers, but I can't cut back cold turkey.
Nobody puts gravy in the corner. Turkey red turkey white
turkey didn't get one bite. Aye yee ay, turkey, brown turkey, green.
Turkey wants a giant TV screen. I've heard that before
Turkey say eat it before it gets cold. The goal
has always been to do everything you can to clear
the air. Talkin' turkey something our parents would say.
