Truckling can be difficult when serving a harsh master.

I was teaching this word to my kids today in the van..and kept saying TRUNKLE...which may not sound funny now, but they thought the word was made up and were laughing at me...turns out they were right!

Not that they were any more receptive to truckle. heh.
