The donkey or ass, Equus asinus, is a member of the Equidae or horse family, and an odd-toed ungulate. The words donkey and ass are applied to the domesticated E. asinus. The animal considered to be its wild ancestor is the African Wild Ass, also E. asinus.
In the western United States, a small donkey is sometimes called a burro (from the Spanish word for the animal).
A male donkey or ass is called a jack, a female a jenny, and offspring less than one year old, a foal (male: colt, female filly).
While different species of the Equidae family can interbreed, offspring are almost always sterile. Nonetheless, horse/donkey hybrids are popular for their durability and vigor. A mule is the offspring of a jack (male donkey) and a mare (female horse). The much rarer successful mating of a male horse and a female donkey produces a hinny.

Preceded by a whinny of satisfaction.
So is an Asshead who wears an Asshat capable of an Assjack?
That was ever so helpful and educational DIBS – it appears that my definition of a jackass was slightly off.
sam, that too was googled and then cut and pasted. I did not write it out myself.
‘You’ll take a little ass over Biff any day, eh?’
Snappy….honey, are you there?

You know, I’ve been wondering what the difference between a donkey and a jackass is lately.
