Whats it got to do with ducks(canard)?

I might be the only person left on this side of the Atlantic who uses the word; you don't come across it very often nowadays. One of the disadvantages of being old is that not only do you lose track of what modern slang means, but a lot of the slang you picked up as a youth only draws completely blank looks as a response. :hihi:

 

Not knowing French, I actually wasn't aware that the term came out of anything to do with ducks, so we've both learnt something there.

Hated up north amnd revered down south

South east.

 

Regardless, it again shows a state funeral is not appropriate because it wouldn't have nation wide support.

 

You've got more chance of getting Alex Salmond to join in singing the verse of the national anthem with the "Rebellious Scots to crush" line. ;)
