Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "TROONK" (as in "true")/

Meaning

Chicano Spanglish for the car trunk, straight from English. Where you put the groceries, work tools, or the cooler full of meat for the carne asada.

Examples

Put the bags in the trunk, they don't fit in the back.

I've got the beers in the trunk, grab them before they get warm.

Regional synonyms

A traditional Nicaraguan and Central American drink made from ground corn, cacao, cinnamon, and annatto, served cold with ice. Sold at markets, fairs, and hot corners, it's the workers' midday refreshment and the kids' craving on the way home from school. Each area has its recipe: some sweeter, some more spiced, but corn is always in there.
