Oops, I'd better feed my sub-atomic cat - he just lepton the table.

Probably not, since according to Gell-Mann's own interpretation and pronunciation of Joyce's word, it actually refers to the sound of sea birds, so that would be rather confusing if ducks also quarked. (Especially if said sub-atomic ducks pronounced it correctly - i.e. rhyming with 'pork' and sounding similar to 'quart' (as in 'of beer')).
