There's a language quirk my mom and sister have.
Or I think it's a quirk, anyway.
See, they insist that koopas, from Mario Brothers are really ducks, and they call them such. As in "I got killed by a duck" whenever somebody remembers how cool the original Marios were and re-downloads the old SNES emulator. (It seems, now that I think of it, that my mother was a real old school gamer. The computer, our old C64 was in my sister's room (which seems to have doubled as a family room, it was that big), and when my sister and I were going to bed, my mom would be playing on the computer, so it functioned as a nightlight for us, I guess.)
If you've forgotten, or if you've never seen Mario, this is what Wikipedia says about Koopas.
So, I promised them I'd put a poll up.
