Multiple parentage:
"May be funny, honey
Sure seems strange to me
We got seven children
And none of them look like me"
("Gonna move to the outskirts of town")
BTW "me duck" is a form of address common to the East Midlands of the UK (as "our kid" is to the West Midlands and "chuck" in Lancashire) applied to both sexes.
I used to call all females "love" and men,"mate" at home in Birmingham as everyone else did. When I moved away to Wales, I found this was interpreted as an unwelcomed endearment!
