Duck duct goose
A cool history of duct tape on the Wikipedia. I didn't know that it was originally nicknamed "duck tape", but was corrupted to "duct tape" when its color was changed to grey and sold commercially. Ironically the one job it sucks at is taping ducts.

Good for taping ducks though.

We always called it "gun tape" in the military, no matter who or what we were taping up at the time. Somehow it seemed easier to pronounce than "Tape, general purpose adhesive, 2 inch fiber reinforced".

In the UK, we just call it gaffer tape
