He got the stuffing knocked out of him!
The joke “What happened when the turkey got into a fight? He got the stuffing knocked out of him!” plays on the double meaning of the word “stuffing.” In the context of a turkey, “stuffing” refers to the seasoned mixture of bread crumbs, vegetables, and sometimes meat that is typically filled inside the bird before it’s roasted for a meal, especially during Thanksgiving. However, the phrase “getting the stuffing knocked out of” someone is also an idiomatic expression meaning to be beaten up severely.
