Um sorry to be so dim but what exactly does donkey mean and what is the difference between a donkey and a fish? Thanks

Nothing. Donkey is the new fish, you'll hear every 28/6/1 calling everyone a donkey at the 50NL tables.

Eggzactly. On the Travel Channel two poker commentators who shall remain nameless complement known players but berate unknown players when donk moves are made. I guess being a donk is relative to situations and personas...

VVP is a very worthy donk in his own right.

A donkey is a maniac and a fish is a calling station.

Fish is a loose player who calls to much and think 2nd pairs are good for chase.
Donkey is a loose-agresive player who makes bad plays often.
Maniac is a player who bet hard with junk all the time.

This is correct. Fish are passive calling stations, donkeys also make stupid/weird plays (and call too much), and maniacs bet and raise with anything all the time.
