Stick you in the trunk of my car.
Trunk? What's that? We call it a boot in South Africa.
OK, boot. Shuddup or I'll boot you.


We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

If a trunk is a boot in South Africa, then what is a boot in South Africa? A trunk?

A boot in South Africa is called a "stewel" [steer vil] - the Afrikaans for boot.

The hood of a car here is called the bonnet.  :smile:
