Ask the Old Fanner: I am curious about
the origin of the name "turnips" for the old
large pocket watches men used to carry
FB, Huntington, WVa
First of all they didn't call a watch a "turnip "
They called it a "turnup " One of the meanings
of "turnup" is a stroke of good luck There was a
time when a man who owned a watch was
regarded as lucky
Home Hints: Baking soda is an easy way to get
toilet bowl stains off
