Who said duh winning

One thing they mention is an etymology, from the American Heritage Dictionary:. The OED's says it's origin is imitative and gives a first quotation from a Merrie Melodies cartoon as documented in J. Lighter's Historical Dictionary of American Slang :.

Checking further, the cartoon is Jack-Wabbit and the Beanstalk starring Bugs Bunny, and the quote is from the giant. Here's some more dialogue from IMDb :. Bugs Bunny: [Nervously] Eh, what's up doc? Giant: Duh, caught ya choppin' up my victory garden, huh?

Bugs Bunny: You want to fight fair don't you? That means that I challenge you to a duel! Giant: Duh, duel? You can watch the cartoon on YouTube. Sign up to join this community.

No worries! I think your comment was fine, actually and I encourage you to undelete it if you can. Just a personal note: As a child, I remember using duh for the exact reasons stated above. The show's cold open was all about Charlie, as Bill Hader played Sheen as the host of the talk show "Duh! Hader's impersonation couldn't quite live up to the hilarious standard set by Jimmy Fallon last week, but it sufficed. Later, in Weekend Update, Seth Meyers chipped in with his "winners and losers" of the Sheen affair: "Also a loser, tigers.
