On 1 thread, where "eggroll" had go "duckroll", an anonymous user posted an edited paradigm of a duck with wheels, calling it a "duckroll". The paradigm defenseless on across 4chan; the epitome would be the target of a hyperlink with an otherwise interesting title, with a user clicking through having been stated to be "duck rolled".[8]
