Don't Use It As A Weird Noun

When copywriters and wordsmiths gather, we can be really mean. Like laughing really hard over someone's queer usage of 'spunk' in a tagline.

Now, spunk has three distinct and vastly different meanings. If you ain't talking about Spunk by Sex Pistols, the record label or Wolfe's play, it's going to be rather peculiar in its other usage as a noun.

Especially if you use it to describe someone to "have bright spunk".
