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"

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!
p.s. - enjoying your blog! put a link to your blog on my own - hope that's okay!
