British Army term from the trenches of WWI — a small dugout or hole scraped into the side of a trench where you'd hunker down when the shells started landing. 'Funk' meant fear or cowardice, so the name carried a bit of a sneer. Later stretched to cover any cushy posting where someone was hiding from real service.
“He spent the whole barrage curled up in his funk hole.”
