Homonym: jackass (Donkey)
A "jackass" is a common term for a male donkey, known for its stubbornness and strong build. Donkeys, or Equus africanus asinus, are domesticated animals often used for carrying loads and as working animals in agriculture. The term can also refer to the animal's vocalization, which is a loud braying sound.
In informal language, "jackass" is often used as a slang term to describe someone who acts foolishly or irresponsibly. This usage highlights the perceived stubbornness or lack of intelligence, drawing a parallel to the animal's behavior. However, it is important to note that donkeys are intelligent creatures with unique social behaviors.
