HONKEY


Meaning of HONKEY in English

(noun) white person A rather humorous term used toward white people. I don't believe most Whites are offended by this term at all. Back in the day, some white men use to sit outside the Globe Theater in Harlem in their big American cars....waiting for the black women that performed that night to come out. (most of the black female performers doubled as prostitutes) If the white men wanted to have sex with a certain black perfomer then he would honk his horn for her to come over to his car. Thus, the word "honkey" was coined.
