A 'donkey drop' is a cricket word. It is a ball bowled high and pitching short of a length giving the batsman an easy chance to hit the ball. It's usually a mistake by the bowler and is not intended.

gangerh: I have a separate list for beastly verbs, where I think 'playing possum' and 'horsing around' are already included.

Snail mail is good for this list, though.

What's a donkey drop?
