      It’s a pet name for McDonald’s. It didn’t have a meaning prior.

        Do you know the origin? Maccas, mackies, mickyDs, McFat, you can make assumptions about how these came about. Is there an origin story for Donken?

          There’s no real known origin as far as I’m aware. There’s nothing called a Donk either, but the -en specifies that it’s the Donk we’re talking about and not “a Donk” (en Donk). Honestly it’s probably just something like “McDonalds>McDonken>Donken”. It’s shorter and gives it a personality.
