Can a person be ducky?

In response to last week’s question, “Can a person be ducky?", my friend Tracey concluded, "Those who work for AFLAC can" to which my Social Business cohort Andy cautioned, "Yes, but no: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_Gottfried#Japanese_tsunami_jokes."

My birthday bud Jon and cousin Wes challenged, "NCIS fans will know the answer to this!" to which my musical friend Blair wrote, "Dr. Mallard on NCIS."  My social media friend Mark showed his sharp memory by responding, "I'd rather be the much cooler Illya Kuryakin (from The Man from U.N.C.L.E.)."

My cousin Greg knew firsthand, "Of course. Students at Oregon are Ducks. Go Ducks!"

My friend Swany skillfully suggested, "A Quaker is ducky if you "c" them."   To this, my friend Richard added, "I’ve heard that some people quack under pressure, and of some people feathering their nest, so I think the answer must be yes."   This led my dad's beach buddy Bob to push back, "Not unless you begin growing feathers instead of hair."

My sailing and writing friend Rich declared, "Of course you can be ducky, it beats being sucky!"   My equestrian-loving friend Royce more crassfully concurred, "But of course! And is much better than being a horse's ass."

My social media and author friend Jodie then offered the challenge, "One can aspire to. By designing a rubber duckie http://www.itsarubberduckieworld.com/category/diary-of-a-rubber-duckie-designer/page/4/, writing a best-selling book on them (130,000 copies),  and living in a rubber duckie world! http://www.itsarubberduckieworld.com/rubber-duckie-video-greeting-card-love-alert/ ."    Jodie is having a lot of fun and success with her rubber duckies even though my collaboration friend KJ discovered a gap in the English language.  KJ shared, "I suppose it depends on the person’s definition of “ducky”. If the user of the term is referring to the www.dictionary.com definitions 1. Fine; excellent; wonderful. 2.       darling; charming; cute, then “Yes”. However, the funny thing is, there was no reference to a rubber ducky or baby ducky except in the advertisements on the page. There appears to be no valid association of ducky if you are feeling like one of our yellow web-footed friends because a baby ducky is a duckling, a rubber ducky should have been a rubber duckling or rubber duck and ducks are just ducks, not duckies. Isn’t that just ducky! No mention of the sarcastic tone. I guess that should be an antonym."

Please share your thoughts about "things that make you go 'Hmmm' “:

With there being Daylight Savings Time, will the government tax your savings?
