Answer: GOBBLED IT UP
(I’m just wondering if the word “gobble” existed, as a word, prior to someone deciding that turkeys speak in gobbles? Hmm. I could look it up, I suppose. But, I’d rather open it up to my highly intelligent readers! Who can educate their dear old Uncle on this matter???
Tried and true clue words today. Only the jumbling of “thumb” was new to me. Super job on the answer letter layout! Nothing giving anything away. Nice, intimate family gathering, Jeff. That’s it, folks. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. Be well, be safe and do good, friends.) — YUR

Thank you, LindaLee! And, nice to have you back. I hope you enjoyed visiting with family and such.
It definitely looks like the *word precedes the bird*, thanks to you providing the definition and etymology. Comments have been few and far between lately. Can’t say why. Might have something to do with the condensed holiday season. Everybody is just too busy. Too bad too. I think I’ve done some of my best stuff the past few weeks. The good news is we just hit the 650 mark for *followers*! I think we just got 8 or 9 new ones this past week!
Hope you’re just about caught up!
