Thanks for the ping along. Learn something every day. The original name for 'duck' was DUKW. Well if it looks like a duck and floats like a duck, it should be called a duck.

DUKW actually means something to the military, using their "sometimes strange" logic:
DUKW =
D, built in 1942
U, amphibious 2 1/2 ton truck,
K, front wheel drive,
W, rear wheel drive
