How do you say it, Duct Tape or Duck Tape

[texanwitch]

I can say Duct Tape but I have to think about it.

I think it has to do with the part of the country you come from.


I say Duck Tape.

I have a $20 bet on this.

Either way is OK with me.

1. duct tape

(sort of slurred)

[texanwitch]

2. I can go either way.

I have duct tape with the label Duck Tape.

A certain person I know just goes crazy if someone says Duck Tape.

[amerikat]

3. I say both depending on the situation.

If I am sealing up my duct work it is of course called Duct tape, but if I'm fixing a broken leg on a duck or any waterfowl for that matter, I call it duck tape.

4. They had some guy on a late night talk show

And he researched it and wrote a book about it. Apparently the original name was Duck Tape. Something to do with the military and I don't remember why "Duck" Tape. (maybe it could seal out water?) I always call it Duct tape. My memory shrinks and my prostate enlarges.

6. My Father worked in a shipyard before he went into the Navy in WWII and

he said it was called Duck tape.

correctly.

10. I say Duck Tape, everybody I know but this one person says Duck Tape.

I think it might be southern thing.

[qnr]

8. Well, generally Duct, unless I'm referring to the Duck Tape brand n/t

[Scooter24]

11. It's both...Duck is a company that manufactures duct tape

but generally goes by it's own name "duck tape"

Other manufactures use "duct tape"

12. Duct...

[SPKrazy]

13. DUCT!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

14. "Duck Tape", if you say "Nucular"

:rofl:

[Omphaloskepsis]

15. I used to say duct tape...

Now I say Duck Tape.. The switch coincides with that damn sig that has a duck taped to the wall.

[trof]

16. I say 'toe-mah-toe'.

;-)

17. DUCK. Witness the proof:

(and Google image "duck tape" - some hilarious uses of the stuff)

[Connonym]

18. duct

If you're talking about the silver stuff even Duck brand calls it "Duck brand duct tape" :shrug:

[Skinner]

19. The correct word is "duct"...

...except keep in mind that during normal conversation when you say the phrase "duct tape" the "t" at the end of "duct" and the "t" at the beginning of "tape" run together and form a single "t" sound. So it sounds like "duck tape".

[bikebloke]

20. Always duct

Even when I'm taping a duck to the wall. :)

[Bucky]

21. I pronounce it "dooq't tah-pay" like the French
