so you are a hunky through and through! the term, as used by my family has always meant someone of eastern european extraction. i am half lithuanian, a quarter polish and a quarter ukrainian. all my grandparents came off the boat.
I guess..I'd heard the term used occasionally..never learned to speak Hungarian..just three words.."nem besay magyar" I was stationed in Europe from 68-72, and in 70, I had an extended medical leave when I got back from Afghanistan..when I got out of the hospital, I travelled through much of Hungary fromtwo weeks..went to see my mom's old village..95% of her family was wiped out in the camps during the war,..but found some distant relations...It was an amazing experience..
