A move which is honte ('the honest move') is one that is played to reduce the amount of aji in one's position. If one plays honte, one accepts that one gets less points than one would otherwise get, or even that one has gote rather than sente, getting in return a solid position with little bad aji, thus freeing one's hands in the future.
dnerra: Here is an example. Where do you think would White move next? Attack at a or b? Take a large move at c or d? No, the four white stones in the bottom right need attention! So maybe e or f?
(In a 1992 Judan game against Kobayashi Koichi.)
