<dd>I call it duct tape, and consider &quot;duck tape&quot; to be an
eggcorn, but there'a actually a brand name with the word Duck in it, so
it's legit. And yes, it's pretty famous.Â&nbsp; <br><br>

<dd>In case it's too much of a Canadianism/Americanism to make sense, I
was going for &quot;duct/duck tape&quot;.Ã?Â&nbsp; There'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.<br>

<dd>As {ghunchu'wI'} pointed out, {qatlhDa'} is a pun on &quot;Why a
Duck&quot; (duct, i.e., &quot;water pipe&quot;).Ã?Â&nbsp;
