What does this mean?
A dead duck
:!::!::!:
NOT A TEACHER :!::!::!:
RoseSpring,
The other posters have given you excellent answers. May I add
mine?
I checked my dictionaries and spoke with my brother. We think that
we older people remember its being used more in the past than
nowadays.
Tom: I am very proud of myself.
Martha: Why?
Tom: Mr. X is a very bad manager.
Martha: I know.
Tom: Well, this morning, I walked into his office and told him
that he is the worst manager I have ever had at this job.
Martha: Oh, no! You didn't do that, did you?
Tom: Yes, I did.
Martha: Well, Tom,
you are a dead duck!!!
= You are doomed. There is no hope for you. The manager is
going to dismiss you, and you will not have a job anymore.
THANK YOU & HAVE A NICE DAY
