Duck and Cover

Original: Official 1951 United States civil defense film, Duck and Cover. Intended primarily for children, it portrays the act of ducking and covering by the character Bert the Turtle. The concept of "duck and cover" is a method of personal protection against the effects of a nuclear explosion whereby persons near the would-be affected area would drop to the ground in a prone position or seek shelter and protection under such objects as desks or other pieces of furniture, or in structures such as buildings or fallout shelters.

Slang: To be evasive or deceptive in one's behavior.
As the police continued to question the suspect about the events leading up to the crime, it was clear he knew more than he was telling. He immediately went duck and cover and refused to cooperate.

Mumma Duck

A.K.A Mother Duck
A really good friend who looks after you when you are too drunk to walk. They are the person that wipes the smeared make-up from your eyes, the vomit from your chin, finds you any form of water, carries you halfway across town, tells your parents that someone spiked your drink, feeds you bread to soak 'it' up, gives you their jacket even though its 10 degrees and you are wearing 4 jumpers already and tucks you in. The defining factor between a Mumma Duck and an awesome Mumma Duck is whether they do it all laughing or not.
"Sal, thanks for carrying me halfway across the footy fields Saturday night and thanks for feeding me your bread Joe. You two are the best Mumma Ducks ever. I'm never drinking again"
