Honyak

Low-class person who values neither social graces nor kindness.

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.
Max, don't hang around those honyaks. All they'll do for you is get you in trouble.
