I've been in software since I was a teen, and this comment finally made me realize what "trunk" was actually supposed to mean before Git took over. https://xkc

  As a non-native English speaker I never connected SVN's trunk with the concept of a tree from which branches grow. I mean, I knew of this meaning of the word trunk but I never thought of it in this context. I was more familiar with the other meanings, the long body part on the elephant and the storage compartment on a car.

    For some reason I'd associated it with trunk, a word for the human torso.
