A ducky is a term with multiple informal meanings in English, depending on context.
- As an adjective (informal, often old-fashioned): means very pleasant, agreeable, or attractive. It can be used playfully or sarcastically, e.g., “Everything is just ducky,” sometimes ironic when things are not going well.
- As a noun (informal, mainly US): can refer to a duck (the bird) or a small ducky toy, especially for children.
- As a term of endearment (informal): used affectionately toward a person, similar to “darling” or “dear.”
If you’d like, I can tailor these definitions to a specific context (conversation, writing, or a particular dialect).
