donkey 🫏 - OzVoca Emoji Details
donkey
The donkey emoji represents a kind and strong animal that carries burdens. You can use it when talking about rural scenery or animal stories.
This animal is famous for being stubborn, so it's sometimes used metaphorically when someone is very assertive. However, it can also express an image of steadiness and diligence.
In Western cultures, it's often used to symbolize a stubborn personality, like a 'stubborn donkey.' Thanks to the talkative character 'Donkey' from the famous animation 'Shrek,' it has also gained a friendly image.
The English word 'ass' has a double meaning of donkey, buttocks, or a fool, so it's used in wordplay. Therefore, this emoji has many faces: it can be used sarcastically when someone does something foolish, or in a political context as the symbol of the U.S. Democratic Party.
