A reader recently researched the origin of the word "bunk", and found it to have a Western North Carolina origin. That shouldn't surprise any one. According to ?1 History of North Carolina by William S. Powell, the word "bunk" can be credited to a N.C. politician, Felix Walker. In the early 1800s, when Walker was a Congressman from Buncombe County, he used to go on and on with his speeches. He explained that he was merely talking for Bun combe. His fellow Congress men concluded that what he was saying was just a lot of "bunk". Good thing the guy wasn't from Polk, or it might have been that we'd be saying that's a lot of "polk" today whenever a speaker was blathering on.
