I kinda thought that was a white trash thing, but I could very well be wrong...

HAH! I never knew that! It also brought to mind an old SNL skit with Richard Pryor and some white cast member doing some experiment where they say offensive slurs at each other. The cast member gets up to "spade" and Pryor responds "honky!" Then the cast member says "nigger" and Pryor's eyes get huge and his voice cracks as he exclaims "honky HONKY!"
