a once-popular Canadian political discussion forum associated with the University of Lethbridge in the bible-belt of the province of Alberta. At first Mapleleafweb strove for intelligent discussion carried out under objective rules. In recent years the rules and tone have been changed to give greater advantage for those promoting rightwing views.
Many people who used to post at mapleleafweb.com have been driven away by the increasing favoritism given to rightwing participants.

Get the Moscow circus mug.The name of a mischievous fairy of English folklore (e.g. Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream").
"FAIRY: Either I mistake your shape and making quite,
Or else you are that shrewd and knavish sprite
Called Robin Goodfellow. Are not you he
That frights the maidens of the villagery,
Skim milk, and sometimes labour in the quern,
And bootless make the breathless housewife churn,
And sometime make the drink to bear no barm,
Mislead night-wanders, laughing at their harm?
Those that Hobgoblin call you, and sweet Puck,
You do their work, and they shall have good luck.
Are you not he? "

Several definitions provided for honkey/honky can be reconciled considering the likely subversive evolution of this term. The African slave pidgin term 'xong' for red ears is the deep origin. (The ring of truth for how white ears behave under the African sun is almost ineluctible.)
'Red-ears/honk-ears' would emerge immediately into slave's cant upon arrival to America, eventually morphing into 'honky/honkey'.
Definitions involving geese-voices or horse-donkeys are probably spontaneous inventions of users unaware of the word's original meaning. Through this process, by the time automobiles became popular 'honkey' had already become more a derogatory adjective/adverb for anything white rather than a noun for a white person -- white music = honkey music, white attituded = honkey attitude etc. Use of car horns to call prostitutes represented the first time blacks publicly applied the term to white people, much amused by whitey's failure to grasp that its real meaning was everything uptight, false, crappy, etc. whitey had ever done to black people. And now the term had the added richness of incorporating sexual inadequacy to the list of honkey attributes (premised on the prostitutes' experience with their white clients.)
So, basically, when used in its full epithetical sense, 'honkey' means a shitty human being with a small dick that doesn't work.
