感恩节分手

    Turkey是“火鸡”，drop是“落下”，这个短语是什么意思呢？请看对话：

    A: How’s your campus life?

    B: I enjoy it a lot. Just one thing worries me. I hope Bob and I can make it past the turkey drop.

    A: Relax. You guys are so into each other.

    Note: Thanksgiving is a time where college students are thankful to leave campus to join their family or their girlfriend/boyfriend’s family to feast on turkey and watch football. But it’s not just the Detroit Lions who could be dropping the ball, college couples all across the United States are throwing in the towel and participating in the turkey drop. The term refers to college freshmen that “drop” a relationship they aren’t sure about over the Thanksgiving break. Usually they end a relationship with their high school sweetheart.
