you could also search AWAD for more information, as this subject has come up before.. but it was a good while ago..
all exotic things were associated with "turkish" merchants, and so any new exoitic thing was "turkish" when the new bird appeared, it was a turkey..
similarly, "copiers" tend to become Xerox machines, and "coke" in someparts of US is generic for carbonated, sweetened beverages..
