This sounds like a stupid question but I have read several times now that people call it a "donk bet" when someone leads the flop OOP. Or did I just misinterpret that?
Because when I'm OOP and i.e. hold AK, raised pre-flop and got 1-2 callers and the board comes out K, 7, 6 rainbow I almost always would lead the flop with a bet of about 1/2-3/4 of the pot.
Does that now mean that I am a donk and loose big time somewhere along the line? Or is the better line to check/call with TPTK? I am asking this I almost always raise when I enter a pot and against 1-2 opp always c/bet even if I didn't hit the board.
I play 6-max and will post my stats of my first 10k hands for criticism.

I'm never sure of the exact definition of 'donk bet'. I take it to mean one of:
1) Betting into the preflop raiser.
2) Leading out in a betting round, when you just called the previous round.
3) A poor bet / a bet made by a donkey
Betting your AK as you describe sounds fine. No donk betting there.

leading the flop, when u lead prf is alright, even if you missed the flop. betting a close-to-minbet amount oop into the prf aggressor is just a waste of chips.

a donkbet does not mean the bettor is a donk. it is just a bet from someone that breaks the flow of aggression. if the pfr gets led into on the flop, that is a donkbet. if the flop bettor/raiser gets led into on the turn, that is a donkbet.

This is the usual definition.
In your example with AK, you lead the flop, but you also raised pre-flop, so that's not a donk-bet.
