Water off a duck's back Meaning: This expression can be used to describe a situation where something has no effect on a person. It is usually used when criticism or harsh comments have no effect on someone. We often use it with the word "like". We also often use this expression with phrasal verbs such as "roll off" or "slide off". Example sentences: 1. It's water off a duck's back to me. 2. It rolled off him like water off a duck's back. 3. You have to let it slide off like water off a duck's back. Example dialogue: A: Don't you get worried when the boss gets angry at you like he did this morning? B: No, not really. It doesn't really bother me. A: How do you do it? How do you not let it affect you? B: I don't know. I just let it roll off like water off a duck's back. Practice: Do you know anyone who lets harsh criticism roll off like water off a duck's back?
