Sometime in 2006, the site moderator, Christopher "m00t" Poole, implemented a word filter replacing the give-and-take "egg" with "duck" as a gag. On one thread, where "eggroll" had become "duckroll", an anonymous user posted an edited paradigm of a duck with wheels, calling it a "duckroll". The image defenseless on across 4chan; the image would exist the target of a hyperlink with an otherwise interesting title, with a user clicking through having been stated to be "duck rolled".[8]
