It's a stag - it was in telegraph crossword last sat

[yogi-bear]

I dont believe it.....I was right as well.....and it was a guess.....lol......look.......

A turkey can be either a female or a male. However, a male turkey is called a gobbler and a female turkey is called a hen

[bobjugs12]

Mr Turkey, or Steve to his mates.

It says here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkey_%28bird%29 that a female is a turkey hen and a male is a turkey cock.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_turkey
In Europe a stag, in the US a tom

[yogi-bear]

Oh piddle.....does that mean this is wrong then?.........

[bigfoot3000]

Also Tom and Gobbler as ladyalex and yogi have pointed out.

[ladyalex]

I don't know and I'm certainly not going to try what they say to find out.......

[yogi-bear]

I quite like Turkey cock, though...does it have a cod piece?

[slinky.kate]

i just googled that and it said a jake

[bigfoot3000]

"Cock", "gobble"....I've a feeling that this thread will be going downhill very soon yogi! Lol.

[slinky.kate]

i think jake is an alcoholic turkey'auld jakie'

[yogi-bear]

LOL....bigfoot

Yep.....once crafty, sara, boobi's,salla, JJ, fluffpot, NoM, to name but a few ladies get to see it. :0)

I'm confused now....is it a turkey cock, a jake from slinky baby x, a stag or tom from the lovely ladyalex x, a tom, Mr Turkey or Steve to hs mates, or a gobbler?

[bobjugs12]

Yogi, it's all of those and more. There are more than a few turkeys in the world and they've all got there own names.
Turkey's are people too, don't ya know

[bigfoot3000]

Maybe its "Tom stag" when he's free range and when he's imprisoned in a battery farm he becomes cock gobbler?

[redman41]

Gobbler sounds good yogi !
I'll ask my Butcher next xmas for a gobbler ! lol
