Subject: Re: 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!

I have heard it as short for whojamathing (something like whatwhamacallit),
but not
in the context to which you are referring. What is the context or sentence
in which it was used?
