Rubber ducks are small, squeezable toy ducks made of rubber or vinyl, originally designed for bath play.
The classic yellow duck with an orange bill has become iconic.
In programming, a rubber duck serves as a debugging aid—explaining code aloud to an inanimate object often reveals errors: I was stuck for hours until I tried rubber duck debugging.
