Finally auto correct of "ducking" from the ruder alternative will make sense.

"I spent the day ducking around on the internet"

In Trinbagonian dialect, "ducking" is the act of skipping work/school.

"Ducking" is also a term used in audio mixing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ducking

"Are you good at ducking mate? Let's party!"

"duck" is also used often in the context of not giving an answer (e.g. "duck the issue"), which is an unfortunate connotation for a search engine.

Also is in the UK - esp 'Duck Out' - to step out of a meeting or situation.

This is the best ducking thread on the internet today. Well done all.
