Hori

Noun: Maori word for George.

Slang derogatory term used to describe the indigenous Maori of New Zealand. It implies such connotations as: scruffy, poor, thief, coloured.

Noun: Hori(George), I'd like you to meet Hone(John); Hone, meet Hori.

Slang:The term came into affect in the 1900s when a white majority wanted to label something they deemed to be inferior. Similar to "nigger and abo". It finally found it's way into the Oxford English Dictionary in the late Twentieth
Century.
