Subject: new word?



I have recently heard a word I presume to be Black English, though

reported by a white. Does anyone know the derivation/etymology

or even the meaning of the following : huji/hoojie? It is supposed

to refer to whites.

I hope this is an appropriate place to pose this question. I was told

that this word caused great offense when used, so it might be a future

non-pc word in the making! If this turns out to be a taboo usage, please

warn me!



Mark Ingram, sorta politically confused anyhow
