There si a brand name of duct tape called Duck Tape, cos duct tape is waterproof and it's also a nice play on words.

Isn't the "Duct" something to do with the structure of the tape?

I like the question "has anyone seen duct tape used on ducts?" Has anyone seen elephant tape used on elephants?

Clarification:
Masking tape is that tape that looks like course white paper, and is designed to come off easily. You use it to get a straight line while painting.
Electrical tape is about 2cm wide, looks like rubber or plastic and car be stretched. It is a good insulater, thus the name. You use it for wires when the insulation has come off.

Ref post 47, (Brand name for sellotape = durex) when W and I were attending antenatal classes, the midwife told us this story.

An Australian girl walks into the stationer's and asked for some durex. RThe rather abashed shop assistant tells her that this is the wrong shop and she needs to go to Boots the Chemist.

Her request is for "durex, two inches wide and six yards long please"!

The amazed shop assistant wanted to know who her boyfriend was.

Ref other uses, I've read that duct tape can be used on the nipples to prevent chafing (Joggers nipple). Some girls use it as the 'poor persons pastie' to protect their modesty when wearing sheer garments.smiley - biggrinBIGAL

Another use for duct tape is that you can make a satchel out of it.
I have a friend who made a satchel entirely out of duct tape. She carries it with her all the time, and uses it as a purse, it's really cool.
I've also seen people make prom dresses out of it.
