Donkey
Donkey - a term to describe a beginner poker player who does not understand what he does or why he takes this or that action. The most common sign of a 'donk' is an often preflop calls or limps. Also, this kind of players often call raises, not realizing that they’re long ago behind their opponent.
If you have spotted a donk at your poker table, stick to ABC-poker playing against him (i.e., only with your strongest cards, playing accurately the winning combinations of poker hands), and 'donk' will soon give you all the chips in his stack.
The opposite term to a donkey is a regular or shark.
