Is it just me that hates this word?

They use it all the time on the civic forum and I've noticed it becoming used more commonly.

Makes me mad everytime I see it

I think too many people think it's the fast and the furious

Think the first 3 are swings and round abouts tbh, how ever i really don't like the whole 'trunk' thing. That and all the shitty 'magazine scenes'.

'standard' explains it well enough imo

'stock' sounds like your talking about chicken/beef

Most people on the MR2 forums seem to call it a "Frunk" front-trunk. Spose it could be a Froot

What gets me the most is people on forums referring to having parts of a Corsa/Astra etc "In Stock" meaning in their own sheds/garages etc
