turkey bacon
n.— «My fellow weirdos, you must join me in my quest to expand our language just slightly. From now on, I ask that you now refer to all rent-a-cops as turkey bacon. For those who don’t know, turkey bacon is processed, smoked turkey meat cut into strips that resemble, but only barely function as, bacon.» —“Turkey Bacon” by Max Dobberstein Irate Weirdos Sept. 19, 2002.
