What does the idiomatic phrase like water off a duck's back mean?

It means that problems or comments (criticism, insult) have no effect on the individual, and are easily dismissed. Just as water will not adhere to the oiled feather of a duck, and is ignored by the duck, a negative remark can be ignored. This is analogous to the "stick and stones" idiom.
