SELL SOMEBODY A TURKEY
(From an old UK series, a conversation between two cops about a newly arrived cop)
- Do you think Creegan's adjusting?
- Oh, he's adjusting. Ask me how I'm doing when I've caught up.
- I wouldn't sell you a turkey.
- That's holding me together, sir.
Is it a UK idiom or "turkey" here works alone as a slang word? The best slang translation i found about is
"turkey": a)
poor quality, adulterated or counterfeit drugb) ampetamine or cocaine
Thanks in advance.

It looks like literal language to me. An actual turkey, the bird, is the reference. CJ
