Does anyone else remember one of the great "lost" movies, George Axelrod's Lord Love a Duck? Its lead character (Roddy McDowall) was nicknamed "Mollymauk". (A mollymauk is not actually a duck, but a smallish albatross of the Antipodes). The name jumped out at me as soon as I read it and I wonder if it's the source of the name, both "in universe" and as TP's source. It's just as likely to be known in Ankh-Morpork as the Land of Fog's morpork itself. --Old Dickens 15:43, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
