I'm not sure Danny is using it in the same way but I first came across the term thunk in the Win32 API. Microsoft used thunks to bridge between the new Win32 API and the older 16 bit Win 3 API. Why 'thunk' I do not know but the term seems to have stuck long after everyone stopped using Win32 thunks...
