I was not familiar with the epithet "Hunky" for someone of Hungarian stock.

Regards,

A proud "Bohunk" (someone of Bohemian and Hungarian stock)

The term “Hunky” started out as an insult. But it took on new meaning to my friends, children and grandchildren of Eastern European immigrants. It became something of a term of amusement. I guess that’s the best way to put it.

Back in the 1970s there was even a magazine published in a suburb of Pittsburgh called ‘The Mill Hunk Herald’. It’s long gone now. I guess there weren’t enough Hunky and Bohunk subscribers!
