honkie

a derogatory term for a caucasian person.
there are three main theories for the origin of the word:
1. the word originated from the practice of white males wishing to hire african-american prost-tutes in the 1920’s, and going to the appropriate part of town while honking their car horns to attract the wh-r-s. some versions state that the reason for this was that the white men were too afraid to actually stop in those neighborhoods, so the honking would bring the hookers to them. others say that since few african-americans could afford cars back in that time, the honking signaled a higher-paying white client and would quickly gain the prost-tutes’ attention.
2. the term comes from the word “honky-tonk”, which was used as early as 1875 in reference to wild saloons in the old west. patrons of such disreputable establishments were referred to as “honkies”, not intended as a racial slur but still a disparaging term.
3. “honkie” is a variation of “hunky” and “bohunk”, derogatory terms for hungarian, bohemian, and polish immigrant factory workers and hard laborers in the early 1900’s. african-americans began to use the word in reference to all whites regardless of specific nation of origin.
also apelled “honky”.

honkie, or honky, an african american slang term for a white person, dates to at least 1946. the origin is not quite certain, but it is most likely a dialectical variation on the older term hunky or hunk. this latter terms date to 1909 and 1896 respectively and are probably from hungarian. unlike honky, the latter terms are usually used to denote people of slavic or central european ancestry and are not primarily used by african americans.
