Duck in a bowl

Royally screwing up. Irish saying originally. Derived from when ducks and other fowl were carried in baskets to/from market. As they are likely to shit while enroute, putting your duck in a bowl (used for eating) would be a bad idea, and an unwise move. You might say a foul (fowl?) idea.
I accidentally texted that last message to my mom! I really put my duck in a bowl this time!

night ducks

When you are at a party and you excuse yourself to go outside to fart, you are checking on the "night ducks" as they are migrating at this time of year.
GEEZ Johnnie that is the third time you went outside in the last 1/2 hour. "Yup, checking on the "night ducks".

duck off

Similar to fuck off, you can tell them to go away angrily and ask them to duck off. I don't know the entire definition, but hey, it works.

Duck Story

A song about ducks. The first one is the best.
Narrator Child: Can you tell me a duck story?

Me: A duck walked up to a lemonade stand
And he said to the man runnin' the stand
"Hey! (bam bam bam) Got any grapes?"
The man said: "No, we just sell lemonade
But it's cold, and it's fresh, and it's all home-made!
Can I get you a glass?"
The duck said, "I'll pass."
Then he waddled away - waddle waddle
