D'oh!
"D'oh!" ( ) is a catchphrase used by the fictional character Homer Simpson, from the long-running American animated sitcom ''The Simpsons'' (1989–present). It is typically used when Homer injures himself, realizes that he has done something stupid, or when something bad has happened or is about to happen to him. All his prominent blood relations—son Bart, daughters Lisa and Maggie, his father, his mother and half-brother—have also been heard to use it themselves in similar circumstances. On a few occasions Homer's wife Marge and even non-related characters such as Mr. Burns and Sideshow Bob have also used this phrase.
In 2006, "d'oh!" was listed as number six on TV Land's list of the 100 greatest television catchphrases. The spoken word "d'oh" is a sound trademark of 20th Century Fox.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Latest Status Info )〕 Since 2001, the word "doh" has appeared in the ''Oxford English Dictionary'', without the apostrophe.〔 The earliest recorded usages of the sound "d'oh" are in numerous episodes of the BBC radio series ''It's That Man Again'' between 1945 and 1949, but the OxfordWords blog notes "Homer was responsible for popularizing it as an exclamation of frustration."〔
==Origin==
During the voice recording session for a ''Tracey Ullman Show'' short, Homer was required to utter what was written in the script as an "annoyed grunt". Dan Castellaneta rendered it as a drawn out "d'ooooooh". This was inspired by Jimmy Finlayson, the mustachioed Scottish actor who appeared in 33 Laurel and Hardy films, from the pre-sound era up to 1940. Finlayson had used the term as a minced oath for suggesting the word "damn!" without actually saying it. Matt Groening felt that it would better suit the timing of animation if it were spoken faster. Castellaneta then shortened it to a quickly uttered "d'oh!" The first intentional use of "d'oh!" occurred in the ''Ullman'' short "Punching Bag" (1988),〔 and its first usage in the series was in the series premiere, "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire". It is typically represented in the show's script as "(annoyed grunt)", and is so spelled out in the official titles of several episodes. Some episodes feature variations of the word such as "Bart of Darkness" (season six, 1994), where Homer says "D'oheth"〔 after an Amish farmer points out to him that he has built a barn instead of the swimming pool he was intending; "Thirty Minutes over Tokyo" (season ten, 1999), where Homer says "d'oh" in Japanese (with English subtitles); or ''The Simpsons Movie'' (2007) where Homer shouts "d'oooohme!" after the EPA seals the Simpsons' home town, Springfield, in a giant dome.
