[Idiom] Like a Box of Fluffy Ducks

[Steerforth]

Apparently, this is a saying used in New Zealand, although some sources say it has spread to the U.K. as well. We can find no evidence of that.

It is said in reply to the question, "How are you?' or something similar. Does anybody know the origin of the term or anything regarding it?

It almost sounds like Cockney rhyming slang, but I can find no reference for it in that regard.

Thanks!

I don't know about other people in the UK, but I haven't heard it used, which makes me think that it hasn't spread that far there.

:up: - though it's faintly reminiscent of 'snug as a bug in a rug' (which is used in Br English).
