What is Hinkey?

In a conversation in the Federal building, Cosmo, Sykes and Sam Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones), the situation with Dr. Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford) is described as Hinkey, meaning that it is strange or unusual. Gerard exclaims that he does not know what that means and doesn't want them using words around him that he does not understand.
