What does turnip mean?

Go to solution Solved by ThinkWithPortals,

Every time they used to do a Strawpoll, they would have X number of actual answers (yes, no, etc.) and then a joke one, such as "Yoghurt", "Grapefruit", etc. Turnip was used, and for some inexplicable reason it became really popular, so they started using it in every WAN show, printing T Shirts and stuff like that. I don't think anyone knows why really, it just sort of became a popular thing (like most memes, I guess)

I have watched the WAN shows for quite some time now, and there is on thing I don't understand... turnip. When they put it in the strawpolls is that an inside joke? or do I just live in a shell?
