From the Ukrainian word гоняк, Slovak "honjak", and Bavarian German "Honjak", all of which originally meant "bloodthirsty pursuer" as a deprecative of the word for "Hun". The word is a relic of the Hunnish invasions of Central Europe.

My Junior High School coach called us honyaks.
When I asked him what it means, he told me that a honyak is 10 pounds of horse poop in a six pound bag!
He used a pithier word for horse poop.

hoonyach 

The friends of my son who hang out at my house, raiding the fridge, watching tv, playing video games, occassionally smoking weed, mostly unemployed and unmotivated. All around, a great bunch of kids.
When I arrived home from work today, the hoonyachs were, as usual, sprawled on the couch eating pizza and watching a Blazers game.
