Word: “Turkey Day”
Usage: Used in place of “Thanksgiving”.
Example: Conversation with a co-worker:
Him: “Hey, Bill, what are you guys doing for Turkey Day?”
Me: “Nothing, since there’s no such holiday. For Thanksgiving, however, we’re having dinner with my brother and his family.”
Please, everyone, don’t call it “Turkey Day”, “Spanksgiving”, or anything else cute or funny. It is supposed to be a day to gather with friends and family, to share wonderful meals, make memories that will last forever, and to think about and appreciate everything that you have. It is supposed to be both solemn and joyous at the same time.
It is NOT supposed to be diminished to a stupid, not-so-clever, unfunny phrase. It’s “Thanksgiving”, OK?

Wow. So angry. Guess I won’t be getting a card from you on Love Day (or as some people call it, Valentine’s day). Also, in case I forget, have a happy Year-End Holiday Celebration Day (or as you purists call it, Christmas!)
