Definition:
An exaggerated form of ridiculous, often used to describe something absurd, excessive, or hilariously over-the-top.
Origin:
Coined by coworkers Tim C. and Serge H., who used to joke that ridiculous things were “like a donkey.” This led to the blend ridonkulous, which became a staple of their office slang before spreading to a wider audience.

Earliest print reference can be found in a 1908 book on magic by Ellis Stanyon. Magic, Volumes 5-7 can be found in the Library Of Congress Harry Houdini collection. It is really just a way to say something is especially ridiculous in a humourous way.

This word is similar to ridiculous. Ridiculous is used in more formal discourse whereas ridonkulous is used as over emphasis for something truly absurd. A shortened usage of the word may be preferred: ridonk.
I can't believe they are making you stay after school because you showed your shoulders; that is just ridonkulous my gal.
