Honking, in the typical parlance of the ages, meant the sound a goose makes when it's warning you that it's about to bite you or perhaps that it's hungry...when cars came about, the noise their horn made when activated sounded much like the warning honk of a goose and so, the car horn is now called a Honk.

in Recent times, the slang of honking means "good" or "great"..it is a qualifying adjective, as in "it was a honking good time!" ...such a phrase might be followed by another, such as "Whoooo-Hoooooo!!!"
