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?
