honkey
Share definition
derogatory noun for a white person
Several definitions provided for honkey/honky can be reconciled considering the likely subversive evolution of this term. The African slave pidgin term 'xong'
for red ears is the deep origin. (The ring of truth for how white ears behave under the African sun is almost ineluctible.)
'Red-ears/honk-ears' would emerge immediately into slave's cant upon arrival to America, eventually morphing into 'honky/honkey'.
Definitions involving geese-voices or horse-donkeys are probably spontaneous inventions of users unaware of the word's original meaning. Through this process,
by the time automobiles became popular 'honkey' had already become more a derogatory adjective/adverb for anything white rather than a noun for a white person
-- white music = honkey music, white attituded = honkey attitude etc. Use of car horns to call prostitutes represented the first time blacks publicly applied
the term to white people, much amused by whitey's failure to grasp that its real meaning was everything uptight, false, crappy, etc. whitey had ever done to
black people. And now the term had the added richness of incorporating sexual inadequacy to the list of honkey attributes (premised on the prostitutes'
experience with their white clients.)
So, basically, when used in its full epithetical sense, 'honkey' means a shitty human being with a small dick that doesn't work.
Bill O'Reilly is a honkey.
'Loogit Bill O'Reilly, flappin' dem bigass honkey-red ears!'
