OK, no answer on the question yet, but the word "thunk" is a bit confusing....
Here's a definition I found:

(v.) In PCs, to convert a 16-bit memory address to a 32-bit address, and vice versa. Thunking is necessary because Intel's older 16-bit microprocessors used an addressing scheme called segmented memory, whereas their 32-bit microprocessors use a flat address space . Windows 95 supports a thunk mechanism to enable 32-bit programs to call 16-bit DLLs. This is called a flat thunk.
On the other hand, 16-bit applications running under Windows 3.x and Windows for Workgroups cannot use 32-bit DLLs unless the 32-bit addresses are converted to 16-bit addresses. This is the function of Win32s, and is called a universal thunk. According to folklore, the term thunk was coined by the developers of the Algol-60 programming language, who realized late one night that the data type of parameters could be known with a little forethought by the compiler. That is, by the time the compiler processed the parameters, it had already thought of (thunked) the data types. The meaning of the term has changed considerably in recent years.
(n.) The operation of converting between a segmented memory address space and a flat address space.
Seriously though, has a phrase been made for woman pic posts or what?
If not, I coin the term "WOW"

Short for Win16 on Win32, a collection of programs in Windows NT and later operating systems that allows 16-bit applications to run in a 32-bit Windows environment through a process called thunking. Without WOW, Win32 programs cannot communicate with Win16 programs, though the ability to do so is often necessary with legacy systems or when systems use 16-bit applications with newer 32-bit operating systems. WOW is designed to make the differences between 16-bit and 32-bit applications invisible to the user.

"Thunk" is the sound one makes when hitting the floor because the hottness of the actor/character (generally as seen in a pic) has made one faint. Generally, the purpose is to ooh and ah, and share good pics.My LiveJournal.
If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere.

An optimist may see a light where there is none, but why must the pessimist always run to blow it out?
-Michel de Saint-Pierre
Now, there's this about cynicism. It's the universe's most supine moral position. Real comfortable. If nothing can be done, then you're not some kind of **** for not doing it, and you can lie there and stink to yourself in perfect peace.

I'm sure you guys have your own particular version of THUNK. The reaction to HOT is universal.
THUNK - the sound / action made when one's jaw/head/body hits the keyboard/desk/floor at the sight of a particularily nice pic.
Happy THUNKING Gentlemen.You're never too old to do something goofy.sigpicGrowing older is mandatory. Growing up is optional.
