            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...

                    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!
