Hinkley Effect

The lingering, long-term damage caused to an area by chemical contamination at the hands of a major corporation.
Made famous by the movie "Erin Brockovich", the town of Hinkley, California suffered large scale contamination of its drinking water with hexavalent chromium, a lethal chemical known to cause cancer and damage the respiratory system, kidneys, liver, skin and eyes. In 1996 the residents of Hinkley were awarded the largest settlement payout in history from PG&E, but many left the area afterwards, fearing continued deception at the hands of the company. It's now largely a ghost town - that's the Hinkley Effect.

honkey house

A home made up of at least three (3) Caucasian residents (and only Caucasian residents) in a primarily black neighborhood. These "honkeys" are very white, but will attempt to camouflage into the surroundings by spending a lot of time on their porch, using phrases like "mmm hmm decent", and giving patrol cars the middle finger as they pass by slowly on the street.

After a nice game of golf with my fellow yacht club buddies, I went to a comedy show and as I walked to my table, the African American comedian went Mock Honkey on me, making fun of how I walk!
