I've decided to initiate a new feature of Peaby and "J". We're gonna call it "Fun Game Time". [cheesy canned theme music plays]

Today's fun game is "Make Up the Etymology". [applause, cheering]

Let's see who can come up with the most creative etymology for the word: [drumroll]

"TURBO"

Ready...Go!

From the latin - Turobous. Proper Noun (slang). "Turbo boy is hot, who is that hunk?!" and "Easy there Turbo, hold your horses"

"A gastropod mollusk that has a whorled spiral shell."

Okay, I didn't make this up, but it is right up your alley with your fishational habitats.

From the Latin TURBIDUS; confused, turbid, and the French BEAU IDEAL; ideal beauty.
Turbo is a reference to a confused beauty. “What a turbo!” (aka dumb blonde)

From the Scandinavian languages - 'turde,' (v.) to dare, and 'bo' (v.) to reside. Thus 'turbo,' a verb that means 'to live daringly', or a noun expressing that state!
