An adjective that originates from the name of one of the principle characters in Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The character, Willy Wonka, was a wacky and deranged owner of a chocolate factory. The term was first used in its full form, but has now been shortened simply to 'wonka'.
The term is commonly used to describe anything that is bizarre and/or nonsensical. Both a person and thing can be referred to using this adjective.
"Did you hear what Vicky just said to me? She must be wonka!"
"That drawing that Stacia made is wonka, but I didn't want to say anything."
"Did you see what Amanda did today? She is wonka."
The term wonka is a term derived from the 1964 novel Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory. The word has been taken out of context to describe the black race, hence calling them wonka's, as in chocolate. Its degree of offensiveness has increased markedly in recent years. Definitions 1a, 1b, and 2 represent meanings that are deeply disparaging and are used when the speaker deliberately wishes to cause great offense.
The word itself has become increasingly popular amongst the youth of today.
Wonka as the derogatory term was used in J.Flo's 2009 Album "On Da F-Block With My Wonkas".
