I don't think they call neutered turkey's capons. Those are castrated chickens and actually they are just a large as uncastrated roosters, though their muscle tissue is less dense due to the lack of androgens.
I just looked it up... a castrated turkey is called a hokie. Anyone on Legion World a Virginia Tech grad?

Meanie,
Everyday Girl - you're a cute little girl and I am not refusing to serve you just to be mean. Obviously, your gramps is neglecting his duties or you wouldn't be here. Oh, if only my sterling friend, Space Ranger, were still alive. You'd have a proper upbringing then. Any chance, you think, Space Ranger might not really be dead - just comic book dead?

So that's what the hokie pokie is all about.

Everyday girl has expensive tastes in scotch blends. Ever tried the new green labelled JW Ev-Girl?
Aparently it's blended from 15 single malt whiskies and no grain whiskey at all. I think it's labelled under different names in Diageo's various marketing areas.

Now just why do you think I'm turning into a little lush here Mr. Semi? I mean aside from the fact that I inherited Great Uncle Spacey's job as Assistant Chief of Legion World Security and I **Hic** have to spend all day trying to keep Cobalt kids hands off of my pert little bottom.
It's because Uncle Spacey is D-E-A-D, dead and I miss him... And he isn't coming back... And I really miss him...
And the only good things I can think of from him dying is that I'll never have to eat Lima Beans again and he won't fly in and take the drink out of my hand.

"You do the hokie pokie and you turn yourself around. That's what it's all about!"
It's all so clear now.

Well, TL, our university named it's football team after a bunch of girls name Gael. I mean, it's Scottish and everything, so couldn't they have called them the Heathers -- or was that already taken?

Wasnt "Heathers" the name of a hokey movie starring Winona Ryder and Shannen Doherty?

It took me some time to come to terms that our teams were named after the girl cheerleaders in the Scottish outfit doing that highland dance.

When I was in grad school at Wayne State, they still called their teams "The Tartars". There were silhouettes of a Mongolian warrior all over campus. They now call themselves "The Warriors", which is alliterative and that's the best I can say about it.

Yeah. The Hokie-as-castrated-turkey thing is apparently apocryphal, though I often enjoy spreading the myth myself.
