They don't call it duck-typing though, and no-one does.
duck-taping? No.
Duck-taping is already the nickname I gave to duck-typing when it's being
used as a religious principle like : you should not check types ever...
nor ever declare them. Extra points if you don't mention expected types of
arguments and instead say what methods should be supported and how they
should behave (another form of copy-paste documentation).
How about goose-for-duck-swapping? As in you send a duck (A_SYMBOL), and
if the object expects a number then Pd swaps the duck for a goose (A_FLOAT).
both the duck and the goose can float.
