Basically just a funnier version of the word ridiculous, but also having a "dick" or "dickhead" connotation. Invented just after "redorkulous", which has a dorky connotation. And now, I will enlighten you even further... Origin: Familiar with the phrase "donkey dick"? Well, you can just call it a "donkey"; or, for people more prone to one syllable words, "donk" (this pre-dates more modern slang meaning "badonkadonk" or the term for pimped out cars). One of us had a funny doodle of a stick figure with a giant, round penis with tiny balls, where the balls were individually drawn within the sack. This soon became known as the "balloon donk" and would, at some point, eventually grace the chalkboards in various classrooms. We'd often say "What a donk" when referring to someone that had done something foolish, irritating, dickish, etc. We made up all kinds of words (and still do) and eventually donk found it's way, through substitution, into the word ridiculous. And that was 1994 kids, before the O.C., before modern poker, before the scholars thought it was in the deep South in '97. I just saw a friggin' bumper sticker that said reDONKulous, and to be honest, I had to steer with my knee to keep my head from exploding. Don't worry about thanking me, I'm just glad the world is a funnier place.
