So I saw you picked your name? :) Edit: No wait, you didn't. You still use your real name and not one of those we had to vote for. Decided they sucked after all?

And I don't get it by the way.

[Teuthida]

Still most comfortable with using my real name for now.

It's from an anti drug commercial from the early 90s. Still pretty stupid but had to make it.

How I miss the 90s.

[Ric]

Yeah I want some of that shit too.

*Watches advert*

What, where the fuck did a little kid get that anyway? I wont pass someone below the age of 16 a joint, and thats only because thats when I started smoking it so I would not want to be a hypocrite. How is that kid a drug dealer? He was only offering his friend a smoke. Thats not dealing imo. And those three rolls, I would have to tare them apart and make it into one, with a roach, lol.

Drug dealers are dorks, the government doesnt make any money out of it. (Unless you believe the C.I.A deal coke, which I do) And yet the turtles are the ones who taught me all my stoner words, dude, munchies, cowabunga ect. Hmm :ohreilly:

Michaelangelo is a party dude!

Zoot times is happy times ;)

It's sad because I actually remember that commercial, and laughed heartily at the comic.

[BreakABone]

I remember the commercial fondly and shall try and one-up you...

That said, I never got the commercial.. how is a turkey a bigger insult?

As per urbandictionary:

turkey

(n) a loser; an uncoordinated, inept, clumsy fool
OR
a tool; a person who is not in with current culture and slang or is just generally uncool.
These slang usages of the word "turkey" were mostly used during the late 60's and 70's by urban-dwelling blacks.

"That honkey is one straight-up jive turkey!"

[Angrist]

They probably came up with a meaning AFTER that commercial was aired...

:lol:


"Alright Ninja Turtles Staff, we've made this commercial with the word "Turkey" in it. Now - time to go back 25 years into the past and infiltrate black urban america with the word and see what happens!"

[Angrist]

Seriously, I've seen it happen with other words. Some guys use a weird word in a song and nobody knows what's exactly meant with it. So people just come up with something logical, and start using it.

[Ric]

My brother always used to call me a Turkey because I used to miss collecting the turkey on Wonderboy 3 years ago, or because I would steal both. Hey I was only 7 years old ;)

This childish insult somehow evolved over time into 'Turkey Nerd' :lol:

It's really not up for debate actually. Lost is good and if you think otherwise, your a turkey nerd*.

* Fixed

[Typhoid]

Angrist, "Turkey" used to be an insult in the black community in the 60's/70's, accept it.

[Angrist]

Sure I'll accept it. I'm just saying that it happens. And sadly they didn't teach me quite everything about American history on my Dutch school.

[Dylflon]

God damnit Ric, I can't stand what a turkey nerd you are sometimes.

[Ric]

God damnit Ric, I can't stand what a turkey nerd you are sometimes.

:lol: You cheeky son of a turkey nerd :lol:
