A person who is a honger does NOT have to have been born in Hong Kong but are usually of an asian race. Hongers are usually interested in the fashions and music of H.K and don't necessary speak chinse 24/7. Not all hongers are rich spoiled brats that fling there money everywhere and spend it lavishly on cell phones or clothes. He/She doesn't have to be horrible in english or permantly resides in ESL classes. The 'weird clothes' in my opinion are actually quite nice, and the clothes that are actually being sold now in english malls are actually the same as the style that was 'in' in HK last year or two years ago. If you're dissing honger clothes, then you're dissing the popular and 'in' clothes that you buy from english malls. Many of the definitions here diss hongers and i'm assuming that the authors of these definitions come from english speaking countries which are probably the U.S and Canada. If it is, isn't the U.S and Canada supposed to be supportive of multi-cultralism? If it is, then these dissers are the ones who don't belong to these countries and not the hongers. At least hongers don't diss other cultures. Everyone is free to express there own cultures and background and shouldn't feel ashamed of it.

I'm half Chinese half white so I get to see both sides of the story. What was described in the first definition is extremely accurate, but only when applied to about 10-20% of the hongers I know. They are a very select group that has one thing in common: they have been in Canada (generally) less than five years. However, the other 80-90% are a very diverse group that includes many people to whom that particular definition of "honger" does not fit at all. I know many people who were born in Hong Kong that speak perfect English, wear the same clothes that white people wear, don't play copious amounts of badminton and don't have cell phones attached to their ears.

It all comes down to how it jumps out at you. The reason why we have such a narrow definition of a "honger" is because we've picked up on the most obvious representation, or the representation that sticks out like a sore thumb. We don't appreciate the 80-90% of people born in HK that are all unique in their own ways and have adapted somewhat to the way of life in North America because they've blended in with the rest of society.

Not all Hongers type with "kekeke" or "hehe =.^~" thing. At least, not to an excess. Besides, I don't think there is anything wrong with it. Its just like typing "lol" or "lmao" --simplified onomatopoeias thats all.

I admit, I'm quite honger, although more cbc. I like to wear some of their fashion, and I also love those cute, adorable things (blue bear, babu, mashimaro..however. I don't like Hello Kitty).

And whats with the saying "Hongers aren't good at english."
That is not true. Everyone sucks at a language they've never learned before. Besides, I'm getting top in my English AP class --take that... freakin honger bashers.

Not all hongers are rich. Just like not all white people are. Or brown people. Or blue. Or green. Get my point?
Same goes with personalities, everyone is different, despite their ethnic backgrounds.

So a general definition of hongers can be just simply
1)a person who wears hongkong/jap fashions
2)a person from hong kong

There are two different types of hongers (that I know of) for each gender.

Girl 1: Loud abnoxious and always speaking in chinese and with those cell phones, digital cameras, accessories hanging off the two things, and etc.

Girl 2: Cute adorable girls who love cute things. They are really nice and are really really cute and do cute faces like XD and >.<

Guys 1: Loud abnoxious gangster looking hongers as defined as those above and hang around in little gangster looking groups.

Guys 2: Rich kids, have everything they want, and are smart as hell and are in all the Honours courses at school and school all the little white boys with straight A's

Guys 3 (extra): Perverts

A general classification of "Hongers" are that they almost all play Badminton and suck shit at it and just stand there crying when they miss. They hang in groups all the time and talk really loudly. But they aren't all bad. Some are really smart, some are adorably irresistable.

*note* I like the first guy's definition =D

Hongers are people who are either born in hongkong or their parents are from hongkong.
Personally I don't think that people who speak Cantonese and not from hongkong are hongers.
hongers are different from the Chinese from mainland china I believe, they have last names like : Chan ,Wong lee,chow.when people from mainland china have last names like : chen,huang,li,zhou

A honger is a word to describe a retarded chinamen. Honger's typically complain about the mainland and call it a different country, even though they themselves are chinese. Some speculate that China sends retarded children to be born in Hong Kong, which is how the whole process started. The equivalent to hongers in u.s. history is niggers in the 1800s. Upity and upset.

I was reading all these definitions as a joke, until I read the last definition. I'm afraid I do not completely concur with this racist and absurd definition. Now, obviously this "Richmond White Guy" or whatever he named himself as has mistaken some other type of people - he probably would belong to that group himself - as hongers. Granted, some hongers might belong in those groups, but people of other races would have fit into those categories rather nicely too (again, Richmond White Guy would definitely fit in the Pitiful category). So, there are some groups of hongers who are cocky and annoying, but most of the honger population are rather nice people who have more or less assimilated into the Canadian culture and have white friends as well as honger friends. They might
still speak their language or say things such as "la, woh, ge, ar" on IMs and when they are speaking their language, but they rarely do speak like that to their white peers. So what does it matter if we say "la, woh, ge, ar" to fellow hongers? White people have their vocabs like "dawg, owned, waddap, pimp, bling" which was obviously copied from ebonics. I have no idea why I am spending time typing this up to persuade Pitiful situations like Richmond White Guy, since they are obviously hopeless cases. But hey, I guess everyone should defend their culture. As a honger, I can speak, write and talk English as fluently as most white people, and I also speak fluent Cantonese and Mandarin too. I don't find this to be something I should be ashamed of; rather, I am proud of the fact that I am multi-bilingual. Moreover, I have met hongers that have scored 90-95% on their English provincials. Contrary to popular belief that hongers can only get good grades because they are hardworking, I know a lot of hongers who are the laziest people I have ever met. They study only when absolutely necessary, which would mean the night before finals and exams. A horrible habit, I admit, but we get through. And now studying in the Business faculty in UBC, I have met even more of these talented honger people who are getting by with their Finance and Accounting degrees. A rather showy definition, but it's all true. Lol.
