-Holden likes to use the word phony to describe anyone with a flaw, or who is different than they present themselves. I belive he does this because he thinks he can see what they are really like and doesn't like what he sees, so he criticises them for it.
-Holden is inquireing about the ducks in a pond in central park, he wants to know what they do when the pond freezes in the winter, I think he wants to know because some part of him feel connected to the ducks somehow, and wants to know how they deal with the problem of their frozen home.
