> [@](#): > > I suspect that many of us have “idiot savant” type skills – certain things that we are inexplicably very good at. My idiot savant skill has always been to be able to identify obscure actors in old obscure movies and TV shows from memory. My brother, “It was Lee Marvin.” Me, “No it was Neville Brand.” I am right 99% of the time. IMDB has rended this talent completely useless. I have no talents or skills which can keep me out of this group. ---

Count me in. I am one of those people who comes here with questions, not answers. I’m academically intelligent but I wouldn’t call myself smart enough to sit around General Questions all day and have a zillion cites at my fingertips. ---

How, praytell, did I miss this before? I belong in this club! Okay, so I can spell, but that’s about it. Utter the words “math” or “science” and I scream and run out. I don’t even open GD or GQ. Am I in? Am I in? Huh? Huh? Please? ---

Ahhh, there are good people here. Okay if I come in? My posts are ignored a lot too (whimper). There are so many little things I’d like to know—like “D’oh”. What does that mean? Does that mean what people mean when they say “Duh”? What omitted letter(s) does the apostrophe represent in “D’oh”? Is it pronounced to rhyme with “dough”? Go ahead; just ignore me. It’s too insignificant to bother with. Certainly can’t start a thread with that. But it should get me in the door here. I think. ---

I believe “d’oh” is something Homer Simpson says, and that it’s basically pronounced “dough”. **IIUD: The Simpsons is too intelectuall for us.** ---
