Anyone else ever heard Gadhafi called "Gadhafi Duck"? I just talked
to someone else who calls him that. I thought I invented it in 1989. Don't you hate when that happens?

1. Actually, it's in a lyric to a song by XTC - "Merely A Man"
It came out on "Oranges & Lemons" back in (I think) 1990 . . .

"I'm all religious figures rolled into one
Gadhaffi Duck propelled from Jimmy Swaggert's tommy gun."

2. I heard the term used in the build-up to Reagan's bombing of Libya
and that was in 1986.

"Ga-daffy Duck"

4. It was also on Letterman's top ten list last night.
The subject was 10 ways to mispronounce Gadhafi's name. One of them was Gadhafi Duck.
