Am I the only one who grew up calling it "Duck Tape"?

It really was called duck tape when it was invented by the military, because it was waterproof (like the expression "water off a duck's back"). Then in the post-WWII era of cheap construction, it became a popular tool, often used in the repair of air ducts, and the name was changed.

I, for one, believe we should officially change it back to "Duck" Tape.
