    Re: Doh! —Shiri Dori
   (...) Actually, the way I understood it, "duh" originates from the Russian "yes" (dah)... as in, duh = "yeah yeah yeah..." I'm not sure if that is true, but in Israel we tend to have jokes about that, us having tons of Russian immigrants and so (...) (23 years ago, 22-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
   
        Re: Doh! —Maggie Cambron
   (...) That sounds as good as any other explanation. But how about this: is the word used in the following post (URL) variant of "duh" or "doh" or just a typo? Or should I be asking the actual author of the post (who would most likely never admit to (...) (23 years ago, 22-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

   (...) Ack, I didn't intend to induce such feelings. :) Anyways, WOW, Larry used "doi!" I haven't seen or said that in at least 15 years. It's right up there with "durrrrrrr"! It is in my experience a derivative of "duh," but only in the sense of (...) (23 years ago, 22-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
   
        Re: Doh! —Dave Low
     (...) "Durrr!!" is a playground favorite in Australia, usually accompanied by the tongue in the lower lip, and "Durr-brain" is a fairly common insult. Like "you spastic!!" it's a disability based putdown. --DaveL (23 years ago, 22-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
    
         Re: Doh! —Maggie Cambron
     (...) Hey, now that you mention it, wasn't there a character in Archie comics called "Big Moose", a big dumb blond guy (please, no offense anyone!) who was always scratching his head and saying, "Duh..."? (...) They say "durrr!" a lot in "Bridget (...) (23 years ago, 22-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
    
         Re: Doh! —Bruce Schlickbernd
     (...) I think it was just "Moose", but he did say, "Duh." He'd beat the stuffings out of Archie every time Archie was unfortunate enough to stumble across Moose's girlfriend.

         Re: Doh! —Kyle D. Jackson
     (...) Ah yes, "Midge", quite the babe. Not sure why I remember that. Anyhoo..., I believe they used to print it as "D'uh" or "D-uh" in the Archie books. It's like it is two syllables crammed together, or at least there's an inflection when (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
