I'm not kidding when I say that it goes back 85 years. Obviously, the word has been around for some time and very similar to Deuce, as in the number 2. The reason it goes back 85 years in my family is due to my grandfather being ~3 years old and trying to say his last name and saying "daduce"(phonetically Dah-doos, like deduce). He would then be referred to as Da Duce, which then was shortened to Duce. It gets really awkward when my grand, dad. and brothers, and I are together and someone shouts out Duce! and we all look.
