Derogatory word for people of Caucasian (or white) descent.
Originated post-slavery era when white men started "seeing" black women on the other side of town, instead of getting out of their cars to meet the girl at the door, they'd stay in their cars and "HONK" meanwhile the family inside would hear and say to the girl "your Honkey's out there"
yet no white person ever known has been offended by any of these words.
family: yo "Honkey" be outside lacretia!
Lacretia: I heard 'em, I's goin!
