EN: donkey; ass
The original beast of burden before the L300 van. It's that stubborn but hardworking animal you see in Bible stories or old provincial paintings. In modern slang, calling someone a 'buriko' is like calling them a stubborn ass, literally.
From Spanish 'burrico'.
Can be used literally for the animal or figuratively for a stupid or stubborn person.
