always high or drunk; follows everyone around swaying (waddling) in a non-annoying way. always cracks the best jokes.
Dude, Sarah is such a lost duckling rn. Get on that!
A duckling syndrome is when a person becomes very close with the first ever thing they stumble upon in a specific subject, similar to how young ducklings recognize the first being they encounter as their mother. Often times the loyalty for the very first thing that they've found in the industry gets so strong that they simply reject much better alternatives that they only happen to find out about later. This condition is mainly attributed to one's inability in growth and analysis.
Steve has a duckling syndrome. Despite better alternatives existing out there, he still prefers using that outdated Google search engine even though it actively sells his sensitive information to some shady advertisers, has biased results, has crapton of ads disguised as search results, and omits half of the words in your search term (often the most crucial and defining ones, annoyingly shoving "must include that word" button right down your throat!!!). Steve should finally dump that dumpster fire of a search engine and move on.
Consider yourself blessed. 🦆
