What is dead turk?
A event, person or happenstance that is generally known of but not acknowledged by anyone. A elephant in the room.
Derived from the plotline of an episode of the PBS television series "Downton Abbey" in which the protagonists try and hide the death of a Turkish visitor.
While discussing the reorg, nobody acknowledged the dead turk in the room- the impending layoffs of half the staff.
The crushed fender wasn't the real problem. The dead turk was the empty liquor bottle under the front seat.
