9/17/2015

In the 1960's and 1970's, Jive Turkey was a popular and commonly used urban derogatory slang - at the time it was one of the most insulting names to call someone. The term was used by several funk groups, most memorably by the Ohio Players on their song Jive Turkey off their 1974 Skin Tight album. The insult was further popularized in the 1980's by popular sitcom The Jeffersons, reaching a more mainstream audience. By the 1990's the decades old insult was again popularized by Homer Simpson - whose use of the term showed that he was completely out of touch with current slang and trends.
