It has nothing to do with ducks. It is a phrase from George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.

The language in Orwell's novel was "Newspeak" and each year the fictional language greatly reduced and simplified vocabulary and grammar to control thought. A person who spoke rapidly spitting out the party doctrine did it so quickly without thought that it was said they would sound like a duck. Thus, the person speaking would be engaged in party approved "duckspeak."

In "Newspeak B Vocabulary" there is no other positive word for "good" other than "good." If you wanted to say something was better than good you would say "plusgood." If it was extremely good it would be "doubleplusgood."

If a person rapidly recited the political party's doctrine with absolutely no thought it would be considered the highest compliment for the person speaking to be called a "doubleplusgood duckspeaker."
