"Chunky" is like peanut butter. "Hunky" is like Daniel Radcliffe <

I see that Wikipedia "disambiguates" the word as follows:


Hunky may be:
     •      A semi-derogatory American slang term for immigrants of 
Carpatho-Russian/Lemko descent, originating in the political status of the homeland of 
many such immigrants, the Austro-Hungarian Empire. See Hunky Culture
     •      A reference to the "hunk" or beefcake male stereotype.


Surely no one would think that HUNGgarians would need a penis enlage [sic] 
patch? On there other hand, there are many rumors about the inverse relationship 
between beefcake hunkiness and penis size.
