/Sounds like "TROONK" (as in "true")/
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.
“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.”
