  Donkey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The donkey or ass, Equus asinus, is a domesticated animal of the horse family, Equidae.
Although, the donkey fell from public notice and became viewed as a comical, stubborn beast who was considered “cute” at best, the donkey has recently regained some popularity in North America as a mount, for pulling wagons, and even as a guard animal.
Donkeys have a reputation for stubbornness, but this is due to some handlers' misinterpretation of their highly-developed sense of self preservation.

Donkey is generally perceived as a friendly word, and few people I have run across have taken great offense at being called a donkey - whether it be for making a bad play or accidentally posting right in front of the big blind.
Donkey is conjugated as a verb by using the term "donk." For example, after busting out of a tournament, I may say, "Damn, I donked off a ton of my chips running a huge bluff against the nuts." One can also get "donked" in a poker hand by taking a bad beat.
Now, donkey has become a fairly common term in poker, but the next few terms are less widely known and more on the cutting edge of poker lingo.
