duck tape

Duck tape is NOT a mispronounciation of duct tape. Duck tape is the original name of the tape from when it was first invented and used by the military. Only, when people started using duck tape to repair ducts, it got the name duct tape.

Duck tape sucks for repairing ducts because it falls off after a while. The officially recommended tape for repairing ducts is foil tape.

Duck tape is used in movies extremely often. A few examples:
- Panic Room
- American Pie: The Wedding
- Frailty

The comic boot error has a healthy obsession with duck tape!

zap

To hold your hand out flat with all the fingers together and extend your arm to poke a ticklish person in the side of their stomach.

Called zap because the more ticklish they are, the more it makes them jump like they were zapped with electricity.

Don't zap me, I might fall over and hurt my head!
