1. The question is...

Is it worse than duct taping a duck? Or is it duck taping a duck?

[In_The_Wind]

2. Huh

[zbdent]

3. I'd been saying that since the early 90s ...

I didn't know anybody else was ... (I missed it in "inglorious bastards&quot

and it was because IT RHYMED ...

(and well after I was using it, "Dharma & Greg" pointed out that, yes, the "trophy" was of a goose, but goose didn't rhyme)

4. It's not new

I first heard it on cop movie in the seventies. Some kid was hanging around the squad car being annoying and one of the cops tells him. "Hey kid, go fuck a duck!". I interpreted it as me as meaning "get lost", and I liked it so much I started employing the expression myself.

Don't remember the name of the movie, though.

5. Maybe they had too much quack cocaine?

6. i think originally luv a duck was the phrase, sounds cockney to me

[geardaddy]

7. I prefer to pluck a duck.

Before roasting.

[Wounded Bear]

8. It's poetry....

Fuck a duck, screw a pigeon.
Go to Hell and get religion.

14. I remember hearing that back in the '60s

[MicaelS]

9. Well, some of the 'ole country boys I worked with years ago...

Claimed that fucking a chicken was an semi-acceptable substitute, if you were really desperate. The only problem was it killed the chicken in the process. So "fuck a duck" may have come from that way of doing things.

BTW, this isn't a joke, I'm completely serious.

16. Holy crap!

10. Fup is a twenty pound hen mallard

Fup
by Jim Dodge

Between these covers reside a twenty pound duck that won't fly, thirty miles of barbed-wire fencing, and several batches of illicit whiskey. Fup is a classic tale that celebrates all the amazing connections and pitfalls of rustic living. The story is set in the coastal hills of northern California between 1880 and the present. The plot revolves around Grandaddy Jake Santee who believes he is immortal, his grandson Tiny whose passion is building masterfully crafted fences even though they don't have any stock, and Fup, a hen mallard with a prodigious appetite. These three come together in a transcendent tale that has won international acclaim and the affection of thousands of readers.

17. When I see one of my workers not getting any work done...

I say he's fucking the dog and selling the pups.

[El Supremo]

12. Jerry Jones coined the phrase in 1994...

when Jimmy Johnson's head of hair finally made him jealous.

13. "Well, fuck a duck" - Henry Miller 1934

"Tropic of Cancer"

That's the earliest use I've found but I wouldn't be surprised if it was older.
