A fork of Rural Dictionary
Slang term for a white man, originating, according to a comment in the book "Beneath the underdog" by Charles Mingus, (not verbatim) "A white man looking for a prostitute in early 20th Century Harlem who, because he didn't want to get out of his car to call a girl, he just honked to get the girls attention" I think this is the most plausible definition.
"You hear that honky over there? He wants you, baby"
Originally "hunkie," a variation on "bohunk," a derogatory term for Eastern-European factory hands and mostly used in midwestern cities. Became corrupted to "honky"(factory hand) in the late 20s-early 30s(see Mezz Mezzrow's REALLY THE BLUES). By the late fifties came to mean blue collar whites and by the sixties white people in general.
Noun. Slang word used to refer to those of Anglo-Saxon ancestry.
