I saw a post on here the other day that was a list of "you might be a topwater if" and forwarded it to my wife. Yes, she has agreed that I am a "topwater". So I figured I would try and help out any other topwaters out there with this post. What are some of the different slang words for species of ducks?
A few I have come across and think I have deciphered:
Hooded Merganser - 'sawbill' or 'hoodie'
Mallard hen - 'Suzie' (merganser names makes since to me, but suzie doesn't)

Spoonie hen = Fat Nancy I think Elder and Hayracker started that, not sure of the origin, so it might not be official.
