Wet don't call Italy Italia, or Germany Deutschland. Etc. we already have a name for the country, which is an Anglicisation of the same name.

And according to Germany itself, Germany is the preffered English name for the country. Not so for Turkey.

The point is that we've been calling Turkey Turkey since it stopped being the ottoman empire. We're not going to change now just because.

I think it would annoy the Turks more if we renamed the bird to “Greek”

Or, hear me out, we just all eat duck instead. Duck is much more delicious than turkey.

ProXJay@reddit

Duck is delicious but there's definitely less eating on a duck plus it usually doesn't pair well with the rest of the meal

The weird thing, is the bird IS at least indirectly named after the country. They were named turkeys by early settlers due to their resemblance to European Guinea fowl, which were also commonly called Turkey fowl for the country where they were commonly found.

They always call visionary ideas crazy, up until they call them brilliant, and then they call them obvious.
