In the new guild spotlight, the word "D'oh" is at the end of the description. D'oh?

It's an "endearing" phrase used by Homer.

A phrase used in the Simpsons....a lot of people I know use that word. It isn't proper English, but hey, what can you do? Yes, I know I ended that sentance in a preposition.

At least it's not as bad as this phrase:

Quote:
Congratulations, a winner is you.


Seriously, what living soul or gaming entity uses that old-school phrase nowadays? confused That is so 8-bit, not to mention really strange to the lot of you. neutral

I do.

But I'm lame like that, I guess.

The Simpsons isn't even funny anymore. It's time to give the phrase a rest.

I don't know... it's in the dictionary apparently. At least the Webster's Millennium Dictionary of English, the Macmillan Dictionary for Advanced Learners and the Oxford English Dictionary.

My god. Is it really? That is the most insane thing I have ever heard. You might as well just put Homer Simpson on the dollar bill.

Of course. Those are totally comparable.

Happy 4th anniversary!
Big thanks to out users, without them, Gaia won't be as l33t as it is now.


One of the mods posted this...the sweet irony. Gaia is crawling with l33t now.

"ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US."

xD -headdesk- Well, I think it's slightly amusing, though I do go to a rather geeky school... sweatdrop

As for "D'oh," I, for one, dislike The Simpsons (as I tremble in fear at the flames I shall receive), so I don't like this word at all. Not to mention, it begs that we add things like "dude" to this. While "dude" is amusing to say, and most people do think it's a word, it's not grammar.

"D'oh" is quite fitting for Homer since he's the embodiment of our cultural ignorance and laziness.

I'm pretty sure "D'oh" is from The Simpsons.
Correct me if I am incorrect.
