      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.

      Only a donkey would pronounce it as 'dunkey'.

      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?

      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. ;)
