[So, here's Xion, it's late in the evening and she having a midnight feast by the look of things, dressed in an oversized hoodie over some flannel PJs- and sat at the table behind a plate of left overs. She looks kind of thoughtful, like something's bugging her.]
I've never had a Thanksgiving before, and it was really great! But there's one thing I don't get...
[She looks at the cold turkey in front of her, then at the device again.]
Why's it called a Turkey when it doesn't come from Turkey? Shouldn't it be called a 'Dinnerbird' or a 'Who-wants-light-or-dark-meat'? Why's it a Turkey? It doesn't make any sense!
[But that's not about to stop her starting on her left overs.]
Does anybody know?

Where did you get that sweater?
And, I looked it up, and I guess they got called that because settlers thought they looked like a bird that came from Turkey. Frankly, I like "dinnerbird" better.

In the mall. They had pink ones but I didn't like them so much.
[But she's putting the turkey down anyway at the new nugget of info.]
Isn't that confusing though? Did they think that the actual Turkey from Turkey had come from Turkey too?
no subject
Heh. They might have.

[Because that's an awfully long way to come just to turn into lunch.]
Oh, and they were all sold out of Mickey.

In other languages also frequently reflect its exotic origins. In Vietnamese, it's name means “Western chicken”, in some European countries, they associate it with India.

What do people in Turkey call it? Do they call it a Here?

According to the internet, they call it "Hindi", which is related to India.

Well, not so much hey as a double take, and then she pushes the plate towards her.]

It's certainly not like anything that's actually come from turkey. Perhaps the man who named it was drunk.
