To “talk turkey” means to get down to business; to deal seriously with an issue. Stand-up comic Mitch Hedberg says he hates turkey. “If you stand in the meat section at the grocery store long enough, you start to get mad at turkeys. There’s turkey ham, turkey bologna, turkey pastrami. Someone needs to tell the turkey, ‘man, just be yourself.’” California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger says he loves Thanksgiving turkey, because “it’s the only time in Los Angeles you see natural breasts.” The Hints from Heloise lady (her parents named her Kiah Michelle) says, “Don’t assume you’re always going to be understood. I wrote in a column that one should put a cup of liquid in the cavity of a turkey when roasting it. Someone wrote me that ‘the turkey tasted great, but the plastic cup melted.’” Apparently it’s hard to be serious when talking ABOUT turkey.
