turkeys
Wattled North American fowl
Turkeys is the plural of turkey—the large North American bird domesticated for food, especially associated with Thanksgiving.
The word extends to failures or flops: The movie was a turkey.
In bowling, a turkey is three consecutive strikes.
Calling someone a turkey means they're foolish or inept: Don't be such a turkey. (Capitalized Turkey is the country.)
