A word to describe a Mormon missionary who can’t stop thinking about home. Pejorative; seen as a negative quality.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) require their young men to serve full-time missions, usually from age 18-20. During this time, they cannot meet with their family; they are supposed to focus on missionary work.
It is looked down on to think wistfully of home; ‘trunky’ refers to your luggage trunk, and is a reference to packing your bags and going home.
Trunky is usually reserved for missionaries who are close to finishing their missions and are daydreaming about normal life again.
