Duck Tail Spoilers

I love the new crop of duck tail style spoilers out now.

But is there ANY chance we can stop calling them "duck bill" spoilers? it's not like we're mounting them on the front of our cars.

We all understand what it is. Why does the name need to be changed.

My girlfriend calls me that... I asked her if it's a bad thing and she said no.... I'm starting to second guess that now.
