donkey's
Belonging to mule-kin
Donkey's is the possessive form of donkey, indicating something belonging to or associated with the animal.
It appears most commonly in the British slang expression donkey's years, meaning a very long time: I haven't seen her in donkey's years.
This phrase likely plays on the length of a donkey's ears, with "years" substituting through rhyming slang.
The possessive also appears literally: the donkey's bray, a donkey's stubbornness.
