Turkey-trot \Tur"key-trot`\, n.
   An eccentric ragtime dance, danced with the feet well apart
   and with a characteristic rise on the ball of the foot,
   followed by a drop upon the heel. The original form, owning
   to the positions assumed by the dancers, is offensively
   suggestive. Similar dances are the

   {bunny hug} and

   {grizzly bear}, so called in allusion to the movements and
      the positions assumed by the partners in dancing.
