I live in Colorado, and I have heard all these expressions used on both sides of the state line (and elsewhere in America)--except trunky. It is common among missionaries of the Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter Day Saints--but only in the mission field. It means I wanna go home...! The fact is that more than 80% of all converts to the LDS Church in England during the middle 1800s emigrated to America, and thence to Utah. They brought with them some speech peculiarities now heard only in Utah. One such is the letter combination -or, as in horse. In Utah it often comes out harse. Its a fact...!
