Duke
nickname- Edwin Donald Snider (1926–2011) US
Snider played center field for the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers baseball teams of the 1950s and was the most powerful hitter in the Dodgers’ line-up. He was more formally known as the “Duke of Flatbush”. - I shoot it gently, with just a flick of the wrist, at the opposing team’s shortstop as he comes trotting out onto the field, and still without breaking stride, go loping in all the way, shoulders shifting, head hanging, a touch pigeon-toed, my knees coming slowly up and down in an altogether brilliant imitation of The Duke. — Philip Roth, Portnoy’s Complaint, pp. 78–79, 1969
- the film actor John Wayne (1907–79) US
- [P]ilots [in the Gulf war] would “yip like a cowboy” every time they hit the enemy and the tactical sign of “Duke” (Wayne’s nickname) was popular. — The Guardian, 17 October 2001
