Guest guest Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Not sure whether that sunject line makes sense to Americans/Australians or other members of what I perfer to think of as the *human* internet community but as I thought this thread was all about anger at my mystification about which country is the most fre country<smile> I thought I would contribute this article (worth reading!)on the subject of Duh and Doh (but not Dah!) http://www.think-ink.net/doh/meaning.htm The Oxford English Dictionary Online (OED) defines " duh " as " " Expressing inarticulacy or incomprehension. Also (usu. mildly derog.): implying that another person has said something foolish or extremely obvious........................... " Dahdah!! I found it interesting. As a Brit my knowledge of such expressions, whether their intonation is rising or falling or inaudible as here on internet, comes from listening to my son who was primarily educated by Homer Simpson - I couldn't afford private schooling! It's good to know that everyone can sort out their differences here! Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
