A hankering is a craving, a longing, a yearning, a desire, a hunger or thirst. In modern US English, its use is often associated with a rustic idiom (i.e. used by or acting out an uncultured rural character, a hillbilly, a hick or a hayseed). "I've got me a hankering to lock lips with a purty little woman."
