Rfv-sense: A type of turkey.—msh210℠ (talk) 15:46, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
- Probably a WT:BRAND entered in error (and with bad capitalisation). "Butterball is a brand of turkey and other poultry products produced by Butterball LLC internationally." Equinox ◑ 15:48, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
- But it might be worth checking for use as a genericized trademark. I can easily imagine Americans referring to frozen whole turkeys as "Butterballs" even if they're not Butterball brand. —Angr 22:34, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, a brief search found at least one lower-cased use of the plural in Google Books. Equinox ◑ 20:29, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
