Lucky duck
It isn't a word, it is two words. Try typing it into Google for its meaning
and origins. -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "Lucky duck" Lucky duck @discussions.microsoft.com wrote in message ... :i dont find meaning for the word Lucky Duck in MS Word |

Lucky duck
Here is from
http://p211.ezboard.com/fwordorigins...14087.topi c: "It rhymes. (Well, the roots do.) Moreover, "duck" has a substantial history of being used to refer to persons: as a term of endearment as far back as Shakespeare's time, and as a slang term equivalent to "fellow", "chap", or "guy", back to the mid-19th century. "Lucky duck" isn't listed in the OED, so I don't have any evidence as to first use (without investing more time than I'm willing to in searching old publications) but it seems to me that it's just an example of the latter slang use, probably persisting because the rhyme makes it euphonious, as DW points out. There's also the expression "odd duck", meaning a strange or eccentric person, which seems to be another manifestation of the same sense of "duck" = person." -- Cheers Robert On Tue, 22 Aug 2006 04:09:01 -0700, Lucky duck wrote: i dont find meaning for the word Lucky Duck in MS Word |
