The original usage of twinkie occured circa between fall/spring 1979 or 1980 when I, a female guitarist and actress, was in a punk rock band rehearsing in a "music building" in Manhattan on 38th street. I would pick up a twinkie before rehearsals and eat them on breaks and the singer in my band started calling me a twinkie. That summer I went to work at a summer stock theater on LI where I started using the word around anyone being extra silly or acting out (i.e. doing a lot of twirling or drag, or being fabulous in some way, etc.)...the guys, most of whom were gay dancers, caught onto it. Within a couple of years the word was being regularly used in the gay community for any young, fun partying gay boy. That is the true origin of the usage of twinkie on the gay scene and how it came about as it had never been used in any context prior to that except in reference to the yellow packaged creme filled cake.

An asian person who is either adopted or living in a white community. Hence, yellow on the outside and white on the inside.

a tasty cream filled pastry made from god-knows-what; known to have a shelf life of forever; if there was a nuclear war the only things to survive would be twinkies and cockroaches

A Twinkie is a golden sponge cake with a creamy filling popular in the United States. It is distributed by the subcompany Hostess, which is owned by Dallas-based Interstate Bakeries Corporation.

A common urban legend claims that Twinkies have a shelf life of forever, or can last for a relatively long time of ten, fifty, or one hundred years due to chemicals used in production. While this urban legend is false, they really can last a long time (25 days or so), due to the fact that Twinkies are made without dairy products and thus spoil more slowly than most bakery items.

"Twinkie" is the correct spelling, "Twinky" is for ignorant rednecks.

Noun: someone who is asian that acts more like a white person than an asian person

An asian who is yellow on the outside but white in the inside
