Jive Turkey Nomenclature

Abbreviated JTN...A false or disingenuous person has been effectively ridiculed by being called a Jive Turkey in a public forum, resulting in other parties threatening that similar wording may be used against others not involved with the origin of the initial transgression. JTN is also used in general reference to anything that is viewed as pompous or arrogant. The term is thought to originate in the Southeastern region of the US.
