Default Duck - what is the DR significance
Trying to find out what a picture of a "duck" means in regards to relationships. My ex's brother had a tatoo of donald duck on his arm and said something about his relationship with girls. Now a dominican girl friend of mine is having boy problems and she has a picture of a duck on her MSN account (usually she has a pics of herself). Trying to find out what this 'icon' represents.
Thanks
email me at DrJimmyZ@live.com with an answer or insight.
Gracias.

The Spanish word for duck is pato. In the DR, a pato/a is a homosexual.

In DR, a tatoo of a duck would mean you are homosexual. The logic behind it is the way a duck walks, much like a homo. No disrespect intended.

So can it be any kind of Duck or does it have to Be Donald?

Wonder if Disney would sue if they knew.
