National Day Calendar explains National Mule Day in a report linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that word better.

The word “Mule (or #Mulish #Muleteer)” is built on ancient words (probably of Asia Minor) that refer to the Beast-of-|Burden (a.k.a. the #PackMule ... influencing the slang for a |Narcotics-|Smuggler or a Courier for a |Drug-Trafficker) which is the offspring of a |Male Donkey & a Female Horse (that of a |Male Horse & Female Donkey is called a #Hinny), and which is thus also the slang term for a |Hybrid (like the #MuleJenny or the #Mulatto mixed-race individual).
The word for the type of shoe is built on ancient words that mean Red.

but those are just the ones that I agree are famous;
