Subject: [Leica] OT: Talking turkey

I'm working on an ad concept (in English) in which we are visualising  
proverbs.
Now I stumbled upon the expression 'Talking turkey.' and I thought it  
would be a funny one to visualize.

But now I'm told (by not necesseraly native English or American  
speakers) that it is a very little known proverb, only American and  
only used in a familiar way.
I'm just wondering if this proverb is recognized by most of you who  
are using Shakespeare's or one of the American Rationalists' language.

Looking forward to your answers.
Philippe
