          A vegetable of very limited intelligence. Like George W. [Bush], only smarter - a turnip knows enough to keep its mouth shut. Bush is continually flapping his. You will rarely catch a turnip saying things like:
          I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, were really talking about peace.
          or
          I hope you leave here and walk out and say, What did he say?
          When one turpin is insulting another turnip, he will call him a bush. Its all horticulture really when you think about it...

                Becoming high on marijuana or turning up. Using illegal drugs to drift off into space and go to the moon. The user will be laughing a lot and making no sense.

                  Someone who is judgment-proof, having no assets or regular income.

                  From the saying, You cant get blood from a turnip. If you sue a turnip, you will probably win, and get a judgment, but you will have no way to collect on it.

                      Derogatory name for a [Bristol City] [supporter].
                      As thick as the root vegetable, has nothing useful to say and as interesting as [digging] one out of the ground!
