Boba Rhett Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 Yes, it's time again for another great round of RSUTD! Why the hell did the country "Turkey" name themselves after a bird? That fact of the matter is, they didn't! The turkey was named well after the naming of the country. Turkey, the country, was named after the Turks and then some European dude came along and was allowed to name the new-world species now known as the turkey for some reason. The Aztecs, who kept domesticated turkeys for hundreds of years before the Europeans arrived, had a perfectly good word for the bird in their language: xuehxolotl. Which, of course, is pronounced................I uhhh......I don't know how it was pronounced but more to the point. Can you imagine sitting down at Thanksgiving and having a xuehxolotl with all the trimmings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
