&gt;&gt; I don&#39;t get that. What do you think is a {qatlhDa&#39;}?</p>

<p>In case it&#39;s too much of a Canadianism/Americanism to make sense, I was going for &quot;duct/duck tape&quot;.  There&#39;s a Canadian proverb, &quot;Duct tape fixes everything&quot;, made popular by a TV show called &quot;The Red Green Show&quot; where the title character... uses duct tape to fix everything.</p>

<p>As {ghunchu&#39;wI&#39;} pointed out, {qatlhDa&#39;} is a pun on &quot;Why a Duck&quot; (duct, i.e., &quot;water pipe&quot;).  </p>
