Duct tape - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Interesting article. I've always known it as "duct tape" and assumed people who thought it was "duck" were simply mis-hearing things.
Turns out that it was originally "duck," but "duct" is the term in common use since the 1950s.
There is a brand "Duck" but they call it "Duck brand duct tape."
So I was right and wrong. That seems fair!
