Does the country of Turkey realize their countrys name is dumb?

Fixed.

Do the people of the US realise they named their bird after a country?

Oxnard, CA is a pretty dumb name too

"United States" in Turkish literally means "Ass of the Chicken".

does OP know he is dumb?

my uncle lives in turkey. he doesnt eat bird meat. he told me not to tell

Please bear in mind that our spelling is merely a transliteration.

I prefer to spell the name of the country the same way most Turks write it in English: Turkiye.

The word "turquoise" comes from the name of the Turkish people, since the stone was often sold by Turkish merchants in Medieval times.

No, it is not named after a bird.

Grow up, OP.

In romanian we have the world 'pula' which is the ugly(swearing) version of penis.
In Croatia there is the town called pula, and in botswana the national currency is pula too.
Romanian is the best language in the world.

Turkey is a stupid name for a country, might as well name your country Dodo Bird or some shit.

But OP, what about Uruagay! LMAO, what next, Uruafag?

you do realize that the bird was named after the country right?

Now THAT was funny.....^^^

Wild turkey is one smart bird
