Their language is a lot like memes. Harold; holding cup.

Nesman, in the parking lot.

The nice thing about this style of communication is that it makes the context explicit, so I can at least look up what you're talking about. You know, when I have access to a means to search the entirety of a civilization's works.

I never watch that scene without laughing uncontrollably.

But really, I can't tell you how happy this makes me, what a fantastic reference.

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.

They didn't actually show the turkeys being dropped.

[-] Thisfox@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

that seems somewhat a relief.

Is Cincinatti when the turkeys drop considered a good or a bad thing? My wiki walk has led me other places now, but it seemed all to be negative consequences?
