Question

Duffy duck= Pato Lucas
Why Duffy duck is called Lucas in Spanish? Why Lucas, not Pepe or Juan or...?!!! thank you for your answers!!! ;)

Answer

Excellent answer from Juan, i think.

Daffy is a synonym for crazy. Crazy in Spanish means "loco". So "Daffy Duck" means "Pato Loco". But why "Lucas"?

"Lucas" sometimes is used  instead of "loco" in some informal spanish talking with the same meaning. So, if somebody tells you: "Estás Lucas" she is actually saying: "Estás loca". :D

Regards!

Answer

Probablemente porque, de alguna manera, puede asociarse fonéticamente con "pato loco".
