Someone from Turkmenistan; literally a country that nobody knows about. Usually looks Asian. Very hard for them to go to the US.

Like the Turkish Delight (aka lokum) but from Turkmenistan. Many Soviets and Turks enjoy it. The taste is somewhat similar to Dr. Pepper, so if you like Dr. Pepper, you will like Turkmen delight. However, if you expect it to be like a Turkmen version of Turkish delight, then prepare to be disappointed.
Turkmen person: Have you tried our fabulous Turkmen delight?
Turkish person: What's that, your rip-off of our fabulous lokum?!
Turkmen person: Ok, that's fine. You don't give a shit. You don't know what you're missing.
Turkish person: *tastes the Turkmen delight* Yuck! At least it's slightly different from our delight but it's horrible!
