There are so many hunkies on my block that this whole town smells like stuffed cabbages.

Pittsburgh term often disparaging, meaning someone who works in a steel mill, something rough and home made. Can be both a noun or an adjective. (short for Hungarian, which a lot of steel workers were) Not quite the bad word it used to be.
