I live in the Dertroit area and a lot of Brits are about who work for the car companies. The other day I was in a restaurant having breakfast and a table full of Brits were getting their food and one Brit said, "Lads, there is so much food here it will take me a fork-knife to eat it all." Another Brit said, "Don't worry mate, what you don't eat we'll just stuff it in your boot."

My question is: What is a fork-knife? Is that what Brits call a spork?

do britbongs really put food in their boot?

Yes, it's simple: Your boots are warm from wearing them all day, so it incubates any left-over food for a good 40 minutes until you get home.

I'm just guessing, I'm not british. He might have said "fort-night" which is like two weeks or some shit. Still makes sense in that context.

The boot is the trunk of a car.

what the Brit probably said was "Pfferk-Nieg." It a popular middle-priced brand of flatware made in Denmark that is popular in London because it can hold up to the caustic washing powders used in British dishwashers.

I'm British and this makes the most sense to me. OP misheard fortnight as "fork-knife" because there's nothing called a "fork-knife" here, and they said boot as in the what Americans call the "trunk" of a car. Though I've never actually heard of someone putting food in the boot more likely just the back seat, and to be honest never really hear many people call it a boot like that at all unless they're saying a "car boot sale" which is a type of market.
