Question of FRUNK

[mrjameszmijewski]

In england they call the trunk the BOOT. So if a slate truck ends up in england would the frunk be called the FOOT?

FROOT?

No clue... but I think I like "Froot" better

I also had to look this up!

According to Gemini AI, they call it a "Front Boot", or jokingly a "Froot." The previous post emphasizes this. "Frunk" is also used because USA terms overwhelmed them, but there is resistance. Or they call it "under the bonnet space" to completely own it in British terms.

If I were British, I would start advertising "UTB" as the space. But I don't think that's going to stick. It appears that FRUNK will be the winner. And it isn't terrible for either side of the Atlantic since it is such a bogus word.

I don’t really like the word frunk. Any storage box with a hinged lid can be called a trunk. You can just call it the trunk.

An elephant has its trunk in the front, and it's called a trunk. So, a trunk doesn't need to be in the back

Ponders { has a tail in the back would that be a BRUNK }

Why not just call it a made up name? Where the hell did boot come from? Why trunk? Like the previous poster mentioned, an elephant has one. Technically our bodies have a trunk. It’s more towards the middle.

I’ll call the compartment in the front of my Slate the cache.

I loathe the work “frunk.” It is just a trunk that happens to be in the front. On the old Beetle, it was just a trunk.

It’s not made up. It’s called a trunk because that‘s exactly what it used to be.

So true... I think I'll just call it the "Storage Compartment".

This guy Etymologies!

I think i'm going to refer to it as the Chest... because they go in the front, and is also a place to store things. The headlights will be referred to as nipples since they are on the front of the chest, and are round!
