Listed in Profanity Category[edit]

The word listed in Category:Profanity. I don't think I should accept that. It's not a cuss word. Who said it is? Spencer H. Karter (talk) 04:33, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification[edit]

Worked on this article years ago. Would need to find good sources but as with "nigga/nigger" this word can be used as a term of endearment between whites (media and music examples already provided within the article) and not only in a negative way. Its use in music and film (ie. cowboy/western references) as mentioned within the article is not derogatory. 2600:1702:1690:E10:1CC6:9EDD:42E:91BF (talk) 06:41, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Per recent edit, "Honky Cat" by Elton John means 'white man' or 'country boy' and Honky Chateau means 'white house' or 'country manor' also. Depends on individual interpretations. Maybe 'white country boy' and 'white country house' are suitable translations/substitutes if anyone disagrees per the lyrics of the song and the studio the album was recorded in (see the article for the French building as an example). 2600:1702:1690:E10:9C40:1339:5A58:3BD4 (talk) 19:47, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Uses in music and film sections to be deleted[edit]

With this edit, I have tagged the article with the template:In popular culture and added comments with inclusion criteria for the section "Notable uses", "Use in music and entertainment" and "Use in television and film". The comment says: Examples in this section need to be cited to a secondary or tertiary reliable source that discusses the specific example's cultural impact. A citation to the actual use can be included, but alone will not support inclusion. See policy MOS:POPCULT, WP:SOURCELIST and essays WP:POPCULTURE, WP:EXAMPLEFARM, WP:Overlistification. Nothing in the two uses sections meet this criteria and so I will deleting them. I will wait at least two weeks to give people time to comment or improve. (In which time I will forget about it and it will be months before I get around to it.) Richard-of-Earth (talk) 18:28, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
