Silly question, what is the origin of the Duchess nickname for Archer?

Trying to remember this one with Quantum leap getting a new series and my family members watching it and waiting for Scott Bakula to show up.
I am waiting for that moment when he reappears to use the duchess name and that image of him in drag to get a laugh.
But inevitably I will have to explain why I have this and where its from and I will be at a loss.
Even TV tropes can't help me here.
So if anyone knows where did the nickname come from/ is a reference to?
Thank you in advance

It was the name of the title character of Archer (Sterling) mother's dog, and Chuck use it as an insult.

Doh should have figured.
I thought that SFDEBRIS name for Archer predated the show Archer and it was a coincidence.

Wasn’t it his codename?

Yeah, Chuck used it first. I think he said, back a few server moves ago, that he just picked something that sounded overblown and ridiculous at random, and it was just coincidence that it lined up with the whole Archer-tv show thing. It was in one of the videos, I don't know whether it survived the various rounds of moves and script updates though.
