2. Intimate
In India, there is a rather unusual usage of this word in the context of informing or notifying someone, which connotes common ancestry with “revert”. “Once I revert, I will intimate you” can be intimidating to handle, we imagine.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

I don't see any intimation that the guy worships a Donkey. The capital D is probably because vetran made a typo. Or his Germanic ancestry is showing.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
