A hilarious term for a white person.
I laughed when he called me a honky.
NOT a white person trying to be black (see wigger). an offensive racist term referring to a caucasian person
adj: when drivers or passengers of motor vehicles sound their horns for reasons other than safety, they are said to be honky / also used in reference to traffic with excessive horn honking
1 - It's weird how a normally laid-back person can get behind the wheel and suddenly become some crazed honky freak. 2 - If you think our traffic is honky, wait till you try driving in the big city.
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"
