Dooh.... as in Homer Simpson, is he sweraing?

[RossGr]

A Vietnamese friend of mine says that Dooh is the F word in vietnamese... is he pulling my leg? Can anyone verify or deny this claim? Does this make Homer a Vietnam vet who brought back a swear word?

 

[SirFshAlot]

Dooh???

wouldn't that be prononced as though rhyming with Pooh?


DOH!

 

[LordMaul]

No idea...

Really!

 

[GhettoFob]

I'm not Vietnamese but I hear some of my friends saying it and I think it does mean that, but the accent is kinda different.

 

[RossGr]

<< DOH! >>



Thanks! never have been able to spell!



<< but the accent is kinda different. >>



I have heard my friends say it Vietnamese and yes, it does sound a bit different but reconizable.

 

[tantos]

the word in vietnamese is Du-Ma....it is equal to mother-f*cker...

Now go out and say that to your vietnamese friends...hehehe.I am viet by the way.

While you're at it ... say my nickname outloud (read sig)

 

[cdan]

Du ma!
Un kuk jaw!
It's good to have Vietnamese friends

 

[RossMAN]

When I was in middle school they said it was Du-Ma-Ma, what does the extra Ma mean?

 

[Looney]

LOL actually it does sound VERY similar RossGr... god, i wonder why i never noticed that (i don't speak Vietnamese though, just know a lot of friends that do).

 

[Omegachi]

DU MA is swearing in viet, DOh is jibberish for Homer

 

[coolVariable]

Homer Doh! stands actually for DON'T! meaning somthing like NO!

 

[Shantanu]

There's several thousands of languages in the world. The chances are good that any word or gibberish phrase for that matter (like &quot;doh&quot will be a profanity in some language.

 

[RossGr]

<< Homer Doh! stands actually for DON'T! meaning somthing like NO! >>



I have always seen it with a slap to the forehead like, I can't believe it happened. In the limited vocabulary of the swearers the F word would fit right in.

 

[Looney]

<< Homer Doh! stands actually for DON'T! meaning somthing like NO! >>



Now where'd you get that? If it stands for DON'T, then how did it come to mean NO?

Anyways, i do'nt think it means either... to me it means DAMN.

 

[coolVariable]

Because my Dad is pretty important in the Simpsons Team...

I heard this from the voice of Homer himself. Back in the days, when TV was black and white, you could never say bad stuff. I forget what show it was taken from, but some guy on TV would say &quot;D....ohhh&quot;, as if he was getting ready to say Damn, but restricted himself. There originally was supposed to be a small pause like that, but over time it just got to be the simple, 3 letter &quot;DOH&quot; or &quot;D'OH&quot; (see how it's broken up? The D stands for Damn )

Genocide, that is a pretty d'oh good explainaition. Can I keep my little fantacy?

 

[RossGr]

opps, not sure how i mangaged a double post. All will be golden soon though.

Ok, asked a friend of mine. Du is equiv to &quot;f*&quot;. Ma is equiv to &quot;mother&quot;. The second Ma you have should be something closer to Mai which he says is equiv to &quot;your&quot;. Don't know what the whole pharase would mean though.

 

[RossGr]

Mapidus;
That pretty much verifies what I heard, I wonder if the Simpson writers realize that they have a foul mouthed Vietnam Vet on their hands? I think that whole D' oh argument is just a cover up. Man, every where you look a conspiriacy!
