{{blockquote|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.}}
