I just thought: DuckDuckGo should get a shorter domain name because it takes to long to type it. It thought of duck.com so I checked what's there, and to my surprise it redirected to... google! Looks like someone there also thought of this.

Or has "duck" another (search related) meaning in english that I'm not aware of?

As for duck.com, see https://duck.co/topic/duck-com-redirects-to-google
