Ok, many people write Duh at the end of there posts, not specificly on gamedev, but it is widely used I guess ... so question, where do think it came from, and what does it express exactly? I think it is cool, duh!

It's not cool, it's just another term of random retarded AOL kid shit. So here, take a hint:

It expresses the fact that you recognize the person you're talking to is an idiot. I mean ... duh! [wink]

Picture a dumb looney tunes character trying to figure out the answer to a simple question. What does he respond with? "duh.....". Duh is a filler word like "hmm, uhh, ehh" that we use when thinking about what to say. Duh was simply taken and reversed into a sarcastic, derogatory word to describe a dimwitted person (with which this word has been associated with for years and years).

Duh is tolerable, but the more extreme forms grate my nerves so.

For example:

The rarely used "Uh-doyeee!" was morphed from "Uh-dUUUuuuh!" which came from "Duh!".

Or so I theorize.

Egads my back *stretches*
