    Donkey when talking about the animal, dunkey when talking about a person who resembles one.

    I've never, ever heard anyone pronounce it 'dunkey'. Madness.

    But these are the joys of being a city slicker- you get protected from this carry on.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,739 ✭✭✭✭starbelgrade


    Only a donkey would pronounce it as 'dunkey'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 49 fluffo


    Donkey if i'm speaking in my own accent.

    Dunkey if i'm doing an impession of shrek.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,617 ✭✭✭Cat Melodeon


    I've always said dunky. I'm not from Navan. Nor am I a donkey.

    Following on from that, would it be a lorry or a lurry?

    Do you donk your biscuits? No you don't.

    So why call a donkey a dunkey, or a lorry a lurry? Is it some form of speech impediment that means you cannot pronounce your 'o's?

    Monk is pronounced 'munk'. Your post is crap.

    I don't donk my biscuits. I do, however, put a donk on it. Regularly.

    At least there are some words with 'o's in them that you can actually pronounce correctly. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,038 ✭✭✭sponsoredwalk
