Semen. Various sites like Urban Dictionary suggest it is various other genital things, e.g. ball sweat or "dick cheese" or a mixture. It is not a phrase I have ever heard! Equinox 07:29, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I heard it once (from an American college student) as a reference to taint sweat, which is also what many hits at google books:"duck butter" sweat suggest it is. (No idea why any of these things are referred to by these words.) Victoria de Rijke, Duck (2008, →ISBN), p. 103, which might answer my parenthetical question if I read it more fully, gives a definition that encompasses all these more specific ones: "the duckpond is the vagina; duck butter is smegma, semen or sweat around the male genitals". - -sche (discuss) 06:10, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I can find an array of senses (Citations:duck butter), including [duck] dung (butter = dung, duck simply qualifying that it's from a duck, in a paragraph about ducks), secretions of the eye rather than the genitals, and yes, genital-area secretion, although from context seemingly not semen. - -sche (discuss) 06:44, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Cited, I think (in a newly broadened definition), although it's not too common. I added a "slang" label; it might also be US, like taint. - -sche (discuss) 00:39, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
