It was frobidden because he sold his soul o the devil for it, thus he downed the last morsel and quipped “Mmmmm…forbidden donut…sacrilicous.” But I could be wrong. \*\* “Sacrilicious” was the waffle that was stuck to the ceiling, that Homer thought was God: “I know I shouldn’t eat thee, but …” followed by “Mmmmm… sacrilicious!” My favorite is when Homer was naming several chief justices of the supreme court and gets stuck on Warren Burger - “Mmmm… Burger” ---

Sacrelicious. According to the link already posted, in the episode “Homer Loves Flanders.” A good one that hasnt been mentioned: “Mmm…open face club sand wedge…” ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by cmburns \* > **I think he only popularized it, just like people were probably doing stupid things and saying “Doh” long before Homer made it his catchphrase.** I can honestly say, I had NEVER heard another human being exclaim “Doh!” before Homer did. Maybe “Arrgh!” or “Rats!” or some expletive, but never Doh. ---

My favorite one was when Homer was explaining why gambling was good to Lisa: “You see Lisa, football is like ice cream. And gambling is like the chocolate sauce, and the nuts, and the whipped cream, and the crumbled up cookie things- Mmmmm…crumbled up cookie things!” ---

Maybe “Arrgh!” or “Rats!” or some expletive, but never Doh. \*\* Originally, the writers just wrote the “d’oh” as “frustrated grunt” in the script, which Dan Castellaneta eventually developed into the “D’oh!” we all know and love by taking a Laurel and Hardy “D’owwww” saying and shortening it at Matt Groening’s suggestion. [http://www.snpp.com/other/interviews/castellaneta94.html](http://www.snpp.com/other/interviews/castellaneta94.html) Then on the other hand, this page claims that “Doh!” appeared in a British story in 1952. Just like us Americans to take credit for something the Brits invented. 😃 [http://www.quinion.com/words/topicalwords/tw-doh1.htm](http://www.quinion.com/words/topicalwords/tw-doh1.htm) ---
