WTF is a honkey?
 

I know I'm a honkey b/c I'm white but what is a honkey? where the hell did that word come from? I guess its supposed to be insulting but how can you be insulting when you don't know what the fuck it is.(got called a honkey yesterday) :helpme

Used as a disparaging term for a white person.

Ask George Jefferson

... it might be somehting similar like a donkey ???

I know where cracker came from:Graucho

honky - derogatory slang word for "white person," 1967, black slang, of unknown origin, perhaps from late 19c. hunky "East-Central European immigrant," a colloquial shortening of Hungarian. Honky in the sense of "factory hand" is attested from 1946.

origin please?

My guess is it came from the red necks that went "Honky Tonking" at their local country bar as they called it or in todays terms, "Pub Crawling".


:2 cents:

correct

Any idea why the red necks started calling it Honky Tonking?

what fucking waste of time lolol

makes more sense than being called an Eastern Euro Immigrant.

It evolved from the word Hungarian just like ****** evolved from the word Nigeria.
