:very-smart:
“yeah, yer know what I mean?”
fun fact - where I live, every single bloody sentence is ended with “duck” which is considered a term of endearment for someone.
examples:
“y’all right duck?” “aww duck” “want a cup of tea duck?” “aww the little duck” “sup duck?”
used for men, women, children, young, old... yeah the British are odd. Also people here say “buz” instead of “bus” and words like “book” become “bouk”. They also miss words out of sentences, so yesterday I heard “I hate buz” instead of “I hate the bus” and several other variants.
Ah the joys of Stoke-on-Trent. A heroin riddled “city” thats actually 6 loosely connected towns thats called “the 5 towns”. No really.
“y’all right duck?” “aww duck” “want a cup of tea duck?” “aww the little duck” “sup duck?”
:meow-melt:
It’s from, of all things, 600+ year old Olde English, the Saxon word “ducas” which means “lord, lady, squire or esteemed gentlemen” which over several hundred years became “duck”
I choose to believe that it is from the aquatic waterfowl.
But that is actually very interesting.
Cool, thanks. I feel like I've heard of it but it's not used where my family's from, crazy that it's still in use and used for anyone.
If you missed it I replied because of my username, but looks like it's a reference to the aristocracy and not me
aristocracy and not me
keeping an eye on you, duck
:honk-commie:
my dad saw Discharge several times back in the day. “fast, loud and abrasive” is what he remembers but “nice bunch of lads the lot of them”
I would link, but I'm one of the few people who interacted with it, and don't want to be super easily doxxed.
Have you seen Mr. TUMBLE? They love him but he looks and sounds like a creepy Tim & Eric character.
