This is when a programmer debugs his/her code by reading it out loud to an acutal rubber duck sitting on the desk.
First you need to obtain a rubber duck (bathtub variety)
Secondly you should place the rubber duck on the desk and inform it you are just going to go over some code with it, if that's all right.
Then you explain to the duck what your code is supposed to do, and then go into detail and explain your code line by line
Lastly at some point you will tell the duck what you are doing next and then realise that that is not in fact what you are actually doing. The duck will sit there serenely, happy in the knowledge that it has helped you on your way.

Adam: Hey Joe, could you help me with the debugging of this code, I have no idea what's wrong.
Joe: Here, take this rubber duck, and try some rubber duck debugging.
Adam: Holy shit, that actually worked, thanks.

A phrase uttered with great exclamation and enthusiasm when something insanely amazing (and/or rare) occurs. Hitting a basketball with a baseball bat and landing it inside a hoop 100 yards away is a good example of a situation where this phrase merits good use. It can also be yelled or screamed in cases of extreme frustration or being angry with something, such as when being PWNED, noob fragged, or teabagged in a video or console game.
It can be thought of as a combination of "son of a bitch" + "damn" + "motherfuck."
"Son of a mother duck" is a phrase appropriate to be shouted for both epic WINS and epic FAILS. It's also more appropriate for saying by younger people who are too chicken to use adult expletives.

1. Holy fucking shit!!! Did you see that?!?!? Oh my god!!! SON OF A MOTHER DUCK!!!
2. I can't believe I died again in CoD4: Modern Warfare 2. For the 27th time. In the SAME spot. Arrgh! SON OF A MOTHER DUCK!!! *Smash controller into wall or floor.*

Fucking the Royal Duck is much like Fuck the Duck but more blatant. While Fucking the Duck can be construed as a convenient trip to the bathroom or a well timed smoke break, Fucking the ROYAL Duck is a blatant attempt at avoiding work.
"Hey, where's the cook? I have an order up, 2 cheeseburger specials!!" "he's out back fucking the royal duck".
