Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The word 'bunk' originated in the early 19th century, possibly derived from the term 'bunkum', which referred to a speech made for the sake of pleasing an audience rather than for substantive content. It is believed to have roots in the name of a North Carolina congressman, Felix Walker, who made a long-winded speech in 1820 that was deemed pointless.
