duck-squeezer

duck-squeezer

A derogatory term for an ardent environmentalist. Is anyone surprised that those duck-squeezers in my neighborhood have taken up composting? I didn't spend my life building this company just to see my daughter marry some liberal duck-squeezer who's trying to get us shut down! Of course the duck-squeezers are opposed to the proposed oil drilling, but they're ignoring how many jobs it will provide to people in the region.
