An aquatic bird that, in medieval times, was used to find out if a person was a witch or not.
This stems from the very logical idea that if a person weighs the same as a duck, then that person is made of wood (because both ducks and wood float in water). And since wood burns (just like witches) then that person must be a witch, because witches are made of wood.
Therefore, the accused person(s) would be placed on a scale next to a duck, and if they balanced, the person(s) would be burned.

A gullible or easily fooled person; an easy target for any kind of trickery.
Some examples:
- Someone who is an easy target for police
- Someone easily robbed or jacked
- Someone who won't retaliate or defend themselves
- Someone who is easy to con or run game on
- Someone who is fake
Originates from the act of duck hunting - the duck is easily hunted and taken out by the hunter.

"I hit a lick on that duck ass fool for 10 racks because his stupid ass didn't have a tool."
"That fuckin' duck let them people search his car and got pieced up."

We found a witch! May we burn her?
A witch? How do you know she's a witch?
She turned me into a newt!
A newt..?
I got better..
There is a simple way to figure out if she is a witch or not.
Witches burn, and what else burns?
Wood!
Yes, and wood floats. What else floats?
... A duck?
Yes! So if this woman weighs as much as a duck, than she is a witch!
