Tur"key-trot` (?), n. An eccentric
ragtime dance, danced with the feet well apart and with a
characteristic rise on the ball of the foot, followed by a drop upon
the heel. The original form, owning to the positions assumed by the
dancers, is offensively suggestive. Similar dances are the
bunny hug and grizzly bear, so
called in allusion to the movements and the positions assumed by the
partners in dancing.
