DUCKY - "fine, wonderful, around 1830 (from its 1818 English slang use as a term of endearment; in Shakespeare's time 'ducky' was slang for the female breast)." From Listening to America: An Illustrated History of Words and Phrases from Our Lively and Splendid Past by Stuart Berg Flexner (Simon and Schuster, New York, 1982).
