I meant in terms of etymology.
"The term “canard” arose from the appearance of the Santos-Dumont 14-bis of 1906, which was said to be reminiscent of a duck (canard in French) with its neck stretched out in flight". What misses in this translation is that ducks use their beak to modify their trajectory. /OT

I did see that from another source (Meriam).
I'm sort of a bird watcher....and ducks do seem to have one wing speed. It's very common in these parts to see groups overhead. I live a around 150 miles south of the Duck Dynasty Robertsons.
That's an interesting fact about steering with their beak.
Thanks....., now I gotta kick something else out if I wanna recall this later....
Ya know, weird re Patrick's ducktail reference...., pretty much the duck hunting capital of the USA is Stuttgart Arkansas.
