Romancing the turkey

To procrastinate, fanny about or in some way take a circuitous route to the intended result. Can be used in reference to someone avoiding the issue, beating about the bush or stalling

James, stop romancing the turkey and tell me what happened!

How was your thanksgiving weekend?

Pretty good, got that turkey hump.

turkey problem

Anecdote popularized (and maybe invented) by the author and former economics professor Nassim Nicholas Taleb that shows the risk in rare but harmful events. - so called "black swans".
It goes as follows:

"A Turkey is fed for 1.000 days by a butcher. Every day confirms to the turkey (and the turkey's economics department, and it's risk management department and it's analytics department ...) that in fact the butcher loves turkeys. Every day brings more confidence to the statement. Until one day the Turkey is ripe for Thanks Giving."

Definition of "Turkey Problem": A series of events or actions enticing an unsuspecting party (Turkey; usually used to symbolize people or corporations) to be misled about the amount of risk / potential harm entailed in a transaction.

Turkey ice

Slushy ice mix on a trail where you don’t know if there’s solid ice or grippy mud under it.

Since it’s 40 degrees out, Riley Trails is all turkey ice right now.

Caroline’s Turkeys

A lady named Caroline has Turkeys that terrorize the people of Georgetown, NY. The turkeys have been seen jumping into random people’s windows looking for food and freely roaming the town. Caroline’s Turkeys can describe a group of people wandering around aimlessly, dicking around.

At work today when it got busy I turned around and my coworkers are just fucking walking around like Caroline’s Turkeys.
