| (...) Oh, YOU had it EEEEEASY! Well, when I said "Privy" I only meant it was a privy to US. We used to DREAM of having a splintery board, OR a trench. WE had to swim down to the bottom of the lake to do our business, get up at 1am, three hours (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

| | | | | Re: Doh!
|
| (...) Well, I would believe this, since I rarely watch the Simpsons, and, come to think of it, the people I hear utter the word "d'oh" are largely people who do watch the show. I found one reference which discusses both words, but I'm not sure what (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

So, yes, Doh! is a complete Homerism. Bruce Lost somewhere on the wine-dark (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

| (...) I'm scrambling to find an online reference, but I read in the paper yesterday that "D'oh" in that form is indeed a Homerism (or, more correctly, a Castellaneta-ism), but it's a modification of "Do-o-o-o" used Laurel and Hardy films, where it (...)

Doh attends misfortune (usually as an exaggeration, as when someone (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
