7 Duck
A heavy cotton cloth used for purposes where great strength is required, such as for sails, boot linings, tent cloths, etc. The original duck was a linen cloth, made from double warp and weft of coarse counts, but nearly all ducks are now made from cotton yarns. Usually woven with double ends and double picks. A light duck is made. This is bleached and used for men's suitings in tropical countries. Ducks are usually named by the weight in ounces per yard - thus a 10-oz. duck cloth weighs 10-oz. per yard. For sailcloths the weave is plain and single-ends, viz., 24-in., 50 ends and 50 picks per inch, 3/30's T., 2/20's W. American makers number the sailcloth duck as follows: - Standard 22-in. No. 1 weighs 18-oz. per running yard. No. 2 weighs 17-oz. per running yard. No. 3 weighs 16-oz. per running yard. For cloths heavier than 18-oz. a cipher is added for each ounce increase, thus: 19-oz. = No. 1/0; 20-oz. = no. 2/0; 25-oz. = no. 7/0, and so on up to 36-02. per running yard of 22-in. cloth is No. 18/0. Any variation in width will weigh in direct proportion. -

10 duck soup
Duck soup - американское сленговое выражение, означающее что-либо очень лёгкое, нетрудное, то, что британцы назвали бы a piece of cake («кусочек торта»). Возможно, это выражение произошло от sitting duck (сидящая утка) — лёгкая добыча, в которую просто попасть из ружья. Такая сидящая утка часто попадает в мешок охотника и легко превращается потом в утиный суп. Знаменитые актёры 1930-х гг. the Marx Brothers снялись в 1933 г. в кинокомедии под названием Duck Soup. -
