Duck typing is one of the most approachable aspects because of the naming. Most other concepts in OO seem to want to complicate things......say.....polymorphism. Run, Run, away! Sorry, it just kinda took over.
Now, duck typing, reminds me of fuzzy yellow ducks that.....well....type. So then I want to figure out how these extremely cute and extremely talented ducks learned to type. Voila, I suddenly learn about the concept. Now, I start to imagine puppies in little yellow duck suits trying to type. They can, but not as well because their nails click a little too much on the keyboard. Now, polymorphism reminds me of ......well,...I don't really know what the hell it reminds me of. It's an ugly word with too many syllables. Winner: Duck Typing.
