The term Duck or Ducky comes from a word Ducats. In Old England and Europe, countries used gold coins for trade, these were called Ducats. When a shopkeeper was asked how business was he would respond, "Just Ducky!", meaning it was good. Hence his customers were affectionately called Ducks or Ducky. In slang, Ducats can mean tickets: "Can you get me a couple of Ducats for the game?" In Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Dutch use the phrase, "Chus' Ducky", meaning everything is copasetic!
