From the Ukrainian word Π³ΠΎΠ½ΡΠΊ, Slovak "honjak", and Bavarian German "Honjak", all of which originally meant "bloodthirsty pursuer" as a deprecative of the word for "Hun". The word is a relic of the Hunnish invasions of Central Europe.

My Junior High School coach called us honyaks.
When I asked him what it means, he told me that a honyak is 10 pounds of horse poop in a six pound bag!
He used a pithier word for horse poop.
