How can you use “heinie” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • He hit me daddy--and then he kicked me in the heinie.

  • Then we are told that heinie is “spelled as if it were Yiddish,” which shows how much Thorne knows about German spelling and pronunciation; the variant hinie is not shown (the word is, after all, a diminutive of behind: the heinie spelling probably cropped up during WWI in confusion with the similarly pronounced Heinie , a synonym for Bosch or Kraut , short for Hein-rich ).
