Duck tape, or duct tape?

Neat...they both sound the same and i rarely have to write about duck(t) tape, so i'm not going to stress about it
 
it is DUCT tape... as in heating duct

but there is a brand of heating duct tape called 'duck' tape... with a little duck as their logo...nice little play on words
 
i think its commonly held that the olive drab waterproof ammo box tape of WWII fame was the original duck tape........

.......then post-war HVAC boom required a similar tape in silver color......duct tape
 
well, its called dct tape, but theres a picture of a a duck od it , so , technically its duct tape, buyt if you call it duck tape its understandable
 
yeah, it was only called duct tape after they started using it on ducts, and producing in in a sliver color.

so remember the lesson you have learned today, and share it with those people who correct you when you say "duck" tape.

If you say duct tape or duck tape really fast, they both sound the same. So just talk fast when you say it and avoid being corrected altogether.
 
not originally

The original use was to keep moisture out of the ammunition cases. Because it was waterproof, people referred to the tape as "Duck Tape." Also, the tape was made using cotton duck - similar to what was used in their cloth medical tapes. Military personnel quickly discovered that the tape was very versatile and used it to fix their guns, jeeps, aircraft, etc. After the war, the tape was used in the booming housing industry to connect heating and air conditioning duct work together.

Soon, the color was changed from Army green to silver to match the ductwork and people started to refer to duck tape as "Duct Tape." Things changed during the 1970s, when the partners at Manco, Inc. placed rolls of duct tape in shrink wrap, making it easier for retailers to stack the sticky rolls. Different grades and colors of duct tape weren´t far behind. Soon, duct tape became the most versatile tool in the household.

 
Honestly why don't you shut the fuck up. Who gives a fuck iwhat it is. You fuckin niggers can pick my cotton all day while i fucking rape your sons.

Cunts.
 
aren't there both kinds. duct is the original and duck is the crappy generic kind. i might be wrong.
 
Duct tape---but I call it West Virginia Chrome because all the people who have body kits on there cars have to use it to hold it on the remaining pieces of their body kits after about a week and a few possums later.
