The English word "duck" has two possible meanings (if you don't listen to cricketersnote "Duck" in Cricket means the batsman is out before scoring any runs—a shortened form of "duck's egg".): verb: to move (the head or body) quickly downwards or away; "Before he could duck, a duck flew into him" noun: 1. small wild or domestic waterfowl related to geese and swans, known for having webbed feet and a broad bill; "the duck had to duck to avoid the bridge", 2. the meat of said bird. In fiction, characters have a surprising tendency to mix these words up. Generally, if an object is coming at someone very fast, and they are advised to "duck!" they will immediately look around for a duck — "Where? Where?" — thinking the word to have been a reference to the latter example, that is, the bird. Or, if there is a duck, and someone informs them of its presence with the demonstrative "duck!", they will cover their head to avoid an Incoming! object, thinking the other character to have been advising them to lower their head, as in the former definition. You would think that for a rational person, context would clarify these things. The source of the humour comes in this case from this expectation of people's ability to discern the intended meaning of an ambiguous utterance being subverted by their apparent confusion in the heat of the moment. In either case, there is the further opportunity for "slapstick" comedy in the character throwing themselves to the floor or being struck by a fast moving animal. The improbability of this happening is justified in the context of a comedy by its providing amusement to the viewer. Subtrope of Who's on First?. See also Ambiguous Syntax (of which "I saw her duck" is a famous example). Also see Inherently Funny Words; this joke gains some of its humor from the duck's status as an inherently funny word. For ducks (waterfowl) that are funny, see Quacking Up. Also Literal Money Metaphor, another Literal Metaphor, but this time it's about money. |

In "Mountains of Messiness" on The Pajanimals, the beaver Hank welcomes the Pajanimals to the Land of Build It by saying "Welcome to the Land of... Duck!" which excites Squacky because, of course, he is a duck. However, he means for them to duck, as there's a big log that's being used to construct a lodge swinging their way, courtesy of the beaver Frank. Fortunately, they duck in time. | |

Howard the Duck can't resist at least one use of this trope. In the middle of a firefight someone yells Duck and our hero stand up straight and replies And proud of it! This was an extension of the joke in the comics of everyone saying something similar while coming to terms with the duck talking to them. |

Super Mario Bros. (DiC): A variation with a different term occurred in one episode, where Mario called for everyone to duck by saying "Get down!" only for Luigi to start dancing. In another Super Mario cartoon series, Luigi heard a bossy king shouting "Duck, you idiot!" Luigi, assuming he was being commanded to get down, did so but the king was actually shouting at a servant for a roast duck. |

The "graveyard duck" line in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest was thought for years to be a case of this— i.e., a badly punctuated line actually telling you to duck in the graveyard. But as it turns out, the original Japanese version used the word ahiru, which translates as the waterfowl. However, one retranslation claims that the word is a slang term for a slowly-patrolling man, in which case it is indeed a mistranslation, but not for the verb. It's since been discovered that duck references were and still are common in-jokes among Konami's staff, something that is acknowledged in the link provided. The exact hint was "GET A SILK BAG FROM THE GRAVEYARD DUCK TO LIVE LONGER." Unsurprisingly, no one knew what it meant at the time. |

There's a variant of it used in several Discworld novels (including Sourcery and A Hat Full of Sky) involving confusion between "geas" — a pact or commandment — and "geese". In Thief of Time, a sign labeled "duck" is used as a Logic Bomb against the Auditors of Reality, where there is neither a duck nor a reason to duck. And in Witches Abroad, similar fun is had with the Duc of Genua. |

In a Richie Rich comic book story, when Richie goes through a "Here Is Your Life" moment with his friends, family members, and even enemies, his cousin Reggie Van Dough tries to throw a cream pie at Richie, only for it to move very slowly through the air until it is flying straight toward Mayda Munny (who at that point is now Mayda Millions). Richie tells Mayda to duck. Mayda mistakes it for Richie telling her what her feather boa is made of, with her responding it is actually ostrich feathers — just before the pie hits her. | |

Bonkers: One cartoon featured Bonkers delivering a pizza in a WWI setting. Upon arriving at his destination, he says this upon seeing an enemy plane, while the general states the pizza was suppose to be sausage. Another episode has Bonkers and Jitters as part of a ski patrol. As the two of them are on a bobsled, Bonkers suddenly screams "duck!" and ducks to avoid being hit by one of the flying birds. Jitters then screams, "Another duck!," but this time rather than another fowl it's actually a tree branch they have to avoid. |

The children's show Zoboomafoo did this Once an Episode, generally followed by a trained exotic bird flying through and dropping a letter. Every time it is pointed out that it's "not a duck", followed by some explanation to the Constantly Curious child that's no duck, that's a falcon, or a condor, etc. (At one point, this is actually lampshaded by using an actual duck.) | |

A The Dick Van Dyke Show episode had Rob in sneezing fits around Laura. She takes it to be psychosomatic, but later, while going to bed, she regards a new pillow and cries out "Duck down!" and Rob goes into a crouch. Turns out he's allergic to the duck feathers in the pillows. | |

Briefly appears in Shivers (M. D. Spenser), when protagonist Frank - being stalked by animal spirits and communicating with his brother Tom via walkie-talkie - hears Tom telling him to "Duck!" Frank does, and narrowly avoids an onslaught of avian spirits who may or may not be actual ducks. | |

One strip of Mutts has someone yell "Duck!" at a baby swan swimming in a pond. The swan looks over his shoulder and goes on an angry rant about how he's a swan, not a duck - and then hits his head on a tree branch hanging over the water. | |

MAD Super Special #36 (Fall 1981), article "If Comic Characters Were Psychoanalyzed". Donald Duck tries to overcome his bad temper by ignoring people who insult him. One day he's walking along and someone repeatedly yells "Duck!" at him. He ignores it because he thinks the guy is taunting him for being a duck, and runs into the branch the guy was trying to warn him to avoid. | |

On the first episode of the edutainment show JoJo's Circus, this trope was played straight- in more ways than one. Goliath the Lion activates a pie-throwing machine, and when Jojo tells him to duck, he makes duck noises until the clown had to explain to the lion (and the viewers) the verb meaning of duck. This was then played with on a game on the website- it was a pie fight game, and when you were instructed to duck, a button with a duck on it was displayed. |

The family wonders why the TV is changing channels by itself and figure somebody has the remote. Noticing Ralph the Duck has the remote, Martha tells Helen "duck" and she ducks down.

In the Sheriff Callie's Wild West story "Train Bandits," Sheriff Callie calls it when she and Peck are on top of a train that's about to head into a tunnel. Peck points out that he's a woodpecker, not a duck, but manages to spot the danger just in time spare himself a nasty knock on the noggin. | |

A one-off comic in Nickelodeon Magazine used both variants in a short story comic. Initially a lifeguard at a pool ducks on reflex upon hearing "Duck!", but the person shouting it was referring to the animal, which has waddled up to them. For the next several days the pool is overrun with ducks and people can't swim in it at all, but one day all the ducks vanish... and of course, the next time the lifeguard hears "Duck!" they instinctively worry that the ducks are back, only to be beaned in the face with a beach ball. | |

T.U.F.F. Puppy: Recurring villain Bird Brain sometimes has a duck among his henchmen who is named Duck, which inevitably results in misunderstandings where he calls for Duck and the rest of his lackeys mistake him for ordering them to duck. He once tried to rectify this by renaming his duck henchman Skip, but that only led to his minions thinking that he was ordering them to skip. | |

In The Bartimaeus Trilogy (Ptolemy's Gate) Bartimaeus points out a duck to Nathaniel, who interprets it as the command. Of course, in this case they were sneaking around trying not to be seen, so Nathaniel had reason to be confused. Bartimaeus was simply messing with him as best he could with his limited capabilities. |

In Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition, in the level "Pigsty", there's a security monitor which - when inspected - does not display an image from a security camera, but rather an image of...a duck. With an exclamation mark next to it. And a rocket launcher-toting enemy sneaks up on you while you look at the monitor. ...Get it? | |
