Well... since you asked, It just so hapens that I am a specialist in everything that has to do with trunk call. Im a sort of.. Trunk callogist, if you will. A trunk call is when you go into your trunk, with some kind of comunications device and you make a call. But wait, there's more. There are three principal types of trunk call: 1. The by-formal trunk call: This is when the call is made from a truck filled with an assortment of fruits and vegetables
2. The formal trunk call: This is when you stand on the fruit, but are under the vegetables, while slitting your wrist and banging your head against the wall
3. The un-formal trunk call: This is when there is no fruit or vegetable of any sort in the car and you begin shiting yourself laghing because there is no fruit. Then you begin rolling around the your feces while singing the alphabet and urinating into your vomit. But wait, where did the vomit come from? Well, if your rolling around in your own **** there is sure to be vomit.

Trunk Call

In telephone exchange terms, a trunk (when used) was the connection between branch offices. The term was originally coined for multiple reasons: the connection itself was thick and lead-covered, resembling an elephant's trunk. In addition, its function within the network was that of a central feed, rather like the trunk of a tree.
A trunk call was therefore a call that went off your exchange, and had to use one of these trunks to connect to a different one.
When subscriber trunk dialling (STD) was launched in 1958 (completed in 1979), the distinction between a trunk call and a toll (local exchange) call became irrelevant from the subscriber's point of view, as all they needed to do was to specify the number including the STD code (area code) to be connected.

In the 1950s, a telephone call made via the operator had to be connected usually via land/cable lines. The other type of call was local or "dialled".
It got its name because the cables were contained within "trunking". This is now applied to computer cabling.
