Talk:Duh

message: Even though the previous versions (which were of little use) were deleted, there probably should be an article (and/or in Wiktionary). Look, it's in the dictionary... --IByte 01:47, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Even if his d'oh (or doh?) is more than a different spelling, surely i am not the only one confusing it with "duh". I associate that with Moose in Archie comics, dating from mid-century, where it seemed to indicate non-comprehension: he was pushing his intellect beyond its capabilities. Is that not part of the backstory of Homer's expression? --Jerzy•t 12:45, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

message: What about "dih"? It's similar, but distinct in usage.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.74.102.247 (talk) 17:57, August 26, 2007 (UTC) 
I was wondering about the lack of "durhey".

thread_title:  Dih! 

message: This page is a mere dictionary definition (something which Wikipedia is not).  It explains the pronunciation, meaning and alleged origins of a slang term and provides some examples of usage of the term.  It also includes several synonyms and related words.  I can't find any encyclopedic content on this page.  Nothing here rises past what I would expect to read in a truly great unabridged dictionary.  The definitions and usage discussions belong over in Wiktionary where folks with the right skills, interests and lexical tools can more easily sort out the meanings and origins.
Options to fix the page here include:
# Expand the page with encyclopedic content - that is, content that goes well beyond the merely lexical.
# Redirect the page to a more general page on the appropriate sub-genre of slang.
# Replace the current contents with a soft-redirect to Wiktionary (usually done using the  template).
Pending a better answer, I'm implementing option 3 for now.  Rossami (talk) 21:56, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've expanded the disambiguation page Duh (disambiguation). As the page Duh could be expanded with encyclopedic content later, I suggest to move it to Duh (slang) to preserve its history, then to move Duh (disambiguation) to Duh, and finally to redirect the page Duh (slang) to Duh.

replies: text:  I didn't realize there was a disambiguation page for that term.  Should have realized that there's a page for almost any TLA.  I don't see any possibility for an actual article at "duh (slang)" that would ever rise above merely lexical content.  And even if it were, the content has already been moved to Wiktionary.  I recommend a simple move of the disambig page to this page.  However, I don't think a history merge makes sense so I'm going to execute the move via cut-and-paste.  Thanks.

replies: text: That's fine, thank you. I notice the page is protected; could you please unprotect it? Korg (talk) 14:21, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Given the long-running pattern of vandalism in the page's edit history, I'm reluctant to unilaterally overturn John Reaves' decision to protect the page.  Is there a specific change you need made?  Or can others comment on the continuing need for protection?  Rossami (talk) 14:33, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not against the protection of this page, since it has been subject to persistent vandalism, but I don't think it should be fully protected indefinitely. At least, the page should be semi-protected. I'll ask John Reaves. Thanks, Korg (talk) 15:59, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: He unprotected it. Cheers, Korg (talk) 20:50, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

text: 1) The usage of the term predates Warner Brothers by rather a lot.  2) Even if it didn't, your proposal is still a mere dictionary entry, something which Wikipedia is not.  Rossami (talk) 11:53, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
