I live in Colorado, and I have heard all these terms used on both sides of the state line-- except trunky. I have never heard that term, even in Utah. It is slang common among missionaries of the Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter Day Saints--but only in the mission field. It means I wanna go home...! Since more than half of all LDS converts in England during the early Nineteenth Century emigrated to America, and thence to Utah, there are many old English peculiarities in Utah--uncommon elsewhere in the U.S. One such is the -ou vowel combination in words like horse. In Utah, it often comes out as harse. Its a fact...!
