Duh, duh duh!
Author
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).

Pssh! "Duh" has been in usage since before the Internet, duh!
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*
