D'oh! It's Official.

The Oxford English Dictionary has a new entry.

BBC News claims it’s just doh. shrugs I can’t search the OED site since I’m not a member. Do we have one out there?

It took many years before I saw them use dis on CNN, I wonder whow long before their news anchors use this one.

I went to the OED Online because I was curious to see if they defined it as a slang word or not. I couldn’t login though because the site is by subscription only. Doh! :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyone with access want to look it up for me?

The entry is given in their current newsletter, accessible to all - http://www.oed.com/public/news/0106c.htm#doh .

It is classified as int., colloq. I assume that means interjection, colloquial. Different from slang, I’d say

Damn, I was going to post this info with the title “D’oh Eee Dee”. You know, like O-E-D … ah, forget it.

Yes, that’s different, but I think can handle colloquial interjections in the OED. :wink:

Look ,too.

“Exclamation - Informal - used to comment on an action perceived as foolish or stupid: He had approached the wrong set of supporters. Doh!”
Taken from Oxford Dictionary.

:slight_smile:

Thanks, Kat! Informal satisfies my word-snobbiness too.

I do have to confess to a deep envy that you can access the OED Online and I can’t. :wink:
