It literally means "I ain't takin' no c--p off of you." Umbrage is another word for resentment. To take umbrage is to take offense. "Trunk no" means to not put up with. In other words, if someone is mad at the speaker, he refuses to listen to him. Its archaic use of the English language, no longer heard in conversation. .

I think the first word should be "Truck" meaning to give, in exchange. Definitely old language.
