Question Proper Name for a "Flap"
Hi there folks, I have just purchased a F-150 & was wanting to put a flap on the back of the truck(bumper) to prevent any stones ect from kicking up. What is the proper name??

Thx

It's always been called a mud flap, Just like the last part of the chicken that goes over the fence, "the mud flap".

I never heard that one about the chicken before. A regional colloquialism?

If it's regional, I heard it while living in In.
