honkie
Racial slur, Caucasians
Honkie is a derogatory term for a white person, used primarily by Black Americans.
The word emerged in the mid-20th century and carries less sting than comparable slurs in the other direction—it punches up rather than down.
Also spelled honky.
Some honkie called the cops on us for no reason.
