==Nomenclature== | |||
The Japanese name for the Deku Stick, デクの棒 (''Deku no Bou''), is derived from the Japanese idiom 木偶の坊 (''Deku no Bou''). Both phrases have the same pronunciation, but have different spellings and meanings; the latter spelling, 木偶の坊, means "the wooden puppet", a metaphor for an incompetent person. | |||
