and just in case:
DOH!: Castellaneta (voice of Homer Simpson) and The Simpson's creator Matt Groening have stated that they came up with the expression in imitation of actor James Finlayson. Finlayson was a sidekick of Laurel and Hardy and used the expression "do-o-o-o-h" as early as 1931 in Laurel and Hardy films and shorts. Finlayson used the interjection as a euphemism for damn. Others used the interjection in the intervening years. Castellanata was not the first since Finlayson, although he did clip Finlayson's pronunciation and formed the contemporary, short pronunciation.
so DOH is
and DUH is
and i'm in it for sure if hehehewalrus ever sees this reply!!!
