A slang term for a recent Irish immigrant. It is used primarily in Boston, particularly in the Dorchester, Brighton and Southie neighborhoods.
The term is actually rather old fashioned and has its roots in Irish immigrants being duped into buying turkey which they thought was pork, and paying pork prices for it.
