Originally meant as a reference to Honoré de Balzac, a writer whose works were banned in many countries during the 1800's, infering a similar character of inflamatory manner or lurid behavior. Being or feeling "Onry" (Anglized form of the french name Honoré)eludes to a person being like the work of the banned author. This reference has been lost to general use but the word remains.
