Be very careful here. This word has a, uh, different meaning
in England, I believe. What about Canada? In the U.S., it's

Neale Hurston wrote a play with Langston Hughes that
premiered in London in the 1980s or early 1990s. It was
called "Spunk" but I think maybe the name was changed. (Sorry
for straying Bill; take the s off and you have punk--that's
