Ducktile: adjective. (of a metal) able to be drawn out into a duck-like shape.
(of a person) docile or gullible with a propensity for lowering one's head quickly and suddenly in the face of potential danger or a threat of some form. This word originates in the writings of Ernest Hemingway, who needed a succinct way to describe all those tedious soldier-characters that he filled his books with.
