Usage examples

  • Heee Hooo!
    Bitch! (As allegedly declared by one donkey to another.)

Etymology

"Heee Hooo" is an exaggerated onomatopoeic rendering of the braying sound made by a donkey. The entry is satirical: since the English word "bitch" technically denotes a female dog, the joke extends the premise to a donkey's vocalisation, imagining what a donkey would "say" if it wished to insult another. The spelling with extended vowels mimics the drawn-out quality of a donkey's bray.

Cultural notes

This is a novelty humour entry in the same tradition as the Dog/"Woof" entry. The conceit is that a donkey, braying in its own "language," is addressing another animal with the zoological term for a female of a different species — the joke lying in the absurd cross-species literal reading of "bitch." The entry carries no genuine offence and is intended purely as comic wordplay.
