That's what I figured, but I remember hearing something about some people objecting to this and insisting that "duct tape" came first after all.

Incidentally, "duck" in this case is cognate with, among other things, Norwegian duk meaning "tablecloth" among other things.

I think it's originally from the Dutch doek for canvas in English

@ReadFanon@hexbear.net Did you happen to sneeze at any point in the past hour?
