Answer 3

"Honkie", or "Honky", is a pejorative slang term from the 1940s for any white person possibly borrowed from the Polish, "bohunk", also a loaded word referring to Eastern Europeans, although some linguists also associate honkie with the practice of white male Johns driving through Harlem looking for a street walker.

Answer 4

Duck or goose that honks while it is flying high overhead. Pops

EDIT: Actually it is meant to be a derogatory word for all white people and is used by some racists blacks. I find it delightful to be called a Honky, Cracker or Lilly White and any of the other names whites are sometimes called. The reason is this: I AM white and anything that refers to me as a white man.....I like. Perhaps the Black folks should appreciate the N word to, since it actually referrs to a black person. It just boils down to having a little pride in your race....whatever it may be. We worry about "words" too much..
