I'll live with whatever, but to most networking (or telecom) folks,
trunking is muxing multiple data streams onto a single media. In
networking, this means multiple VLANs over a single connection.

I have never seen it refer to aggregating several connections to look
like a single one (802.1ad).

But it sounds like someone will be confused by either case, so...
