Shuckey Duckey
Shucky Ducky is the stage name of comedian Cecil Armstrong (born 1956), a native of Dallas, Texas. He has appeared on "Def Comedy Jam". He has also been the ringmaster of the UniverSoul Circus.[1] He is known for the catchphrase "Shucky Ducky Quack Quack."
He describes his catchphrase as meaning disappointment or excitement. As he explained it at an Elan Productions event,[2]
Now let me tell y'all what "shucky ducky" is. "Shucky ducky" is this phrase that I created means disappointment or excitement. For example, instead of cursing when you stomp your toe, you say "shucky ducky". Now if you see a fine girl or a guy you like, you say "awwwwww, shuck-ay duck-ay!" Now if you get the girl pregnant, you say "Damn!", 'cause you done shuck your ducky too long.
