...but used in context of honky dory

Urban dictionary-

Originated by post WW II US Sailors on liberty in Yokosuka, Japan. The strip right outside the main gate to the US Naval Base was called (and still is) Honcho Dori (means book district street in Japanese). Times were wild and there was no better sailor port in the world at the time. This was bastardized to Honky Dory by the sailors and it came to mean if you came from Honky Dory then everything had to be good or 'honky dory'.

Hunky isn’t nicest of words either

Hunky is an ethnic slur used in the United States to refer to a laborer from Central Europe. It originated in the coal regions of Pennsylvania and West Virginia, where Poles and other immigrants from Central Europe (Hungarians (Magyar), Rusyns, Slovaks) came to perform hard manual labor on the mines.

But hunky might be more appropriate to FBU if you use the proper meaning -

A hunky company is sexy and attractive to value investors and usually big and strong:

But honky sounds better

Seems odd to me as a novice in the stock market that the share price has recovered so well. I think there are still outstanding compensations to be paid on contracts that have not been delivered on time? Doesn't appear to be a company out of the woods yet - or altogether dory.

But honky sounds better

Shonky gory sounds more honest.

I think they're lucky to have Rob McDonald, (former CFO at AIR) on the board, not so sure about the other AIR guy there.

I do believe there's a lot of skeletons in the closet though. You can see evidence of this in the ~ $90m restructuring cost to save ~$30m in annual operating cost. Must be some really lucrative redundancy clauses in those employment agreements. New CEO getting all teary eyed about making a few people redundant, for goodness sake man grow a pair and really take the knife to the huge amount of corporate fat imbedded in the system.

Good they have a five year plan, and I'm expecting the road ahead to have some extremely large pot holes.

I'm with you Beagle. Likely more skeletons to come. In these cases there are usually more dead bodies buried than they originally think.

He was there when they went under though?
