an unsuccessful person or thing
Politics:
-An elected official whose power is reduced because the person who will replace them has already been elected
-A person who still has time to serve in an elected position despite not being elected again in a recent election, with the result that the person has no real power.
-Examples-
---Finally, highly fractionalised parties in government enervated the authority of the executive and rendered prime ministers vulnerable to the problem of the lame duck.
---Therefore, in a perfect election, during the sitting president's lame duck period, the president-elect usually signals only obliquely that there will be a ritual burial of the predecessor.
Business:
-An unsuccessful person, thing, or organization:
-A person in a position of authority in a company or organization whose power is reduced because their time in the job is about to end:

The best Muscovy Duck that you will ever see in the world. It is so cute that it always looks at you before you can look at it. My mom always hits it and is always arguing about how much it poops however, I always try to protect the duck because of its cute face and body. The boy duck always bites my mom and the girl duck doesn't bite my mom. Both of the ducks have never bit me. In the end, the ducks are the most beautiful, friendliest, and cutest animals in the entire world
