thanks.

Pluck a duck, then you’ll know.

Hey, a newbie! welcome!
My reply seems a little curt, so let me elaborate.
A ducks skin, sans feathers, has bumps. So does a chicken. Why we don’t call them “chicken bumps”, I don’t know.

Then why don’t we call them duck bumps either?
Because assumably the same thing happens when you pluck any fowl :).
Well, taco, there you have it. I think you’ve found your answer.
Easy as pie, huh?
Now where did that phrase come from? 
Peace,

ah yes, thanks for treating the newbie so well.
