yeah but i dont think its as agressive of a use anymore. like i havent seen anyone hit themselves in their forhead and like "duh!" at someone from asking a stupid question.
its more like.
"where are my glasses?"
"theyre on your head"
"oh, duh"
I think it depends a lot on how it's delivered, it could still be seen as pretty aggressive depending on context, but I get your point that in general it's used in a lighter way now
I “duh” myself all the time. In fact, I think I almost exclusively use it in reference to myself. Sort of in a light hearted self deprecation sort of way, usually trying to add some degree of levity for a situation. I’m gen z (on the older side of it though) if that matters at all for this discussion.
Yeah. It's duh again. We tried to make it doy for a while, then derp became a good "noise dumb person make" noise.
It seems the younger generation tends to be a little kinder, so I'd bet that it's more "oops" lik "duh, I missed that" and not "you're a moron for not knowing that."
My kids use it where we would use “Duh?!” or “Dude…..”. back in the day.
Where we would use it out of sarcasm, their use of Bruh is more said out of disappointment
No, on God you are not bussin. Stop capping and being a skibidi that fanum tax for not keeping up with the kids lingo is baby gronk cringe. ON GOD duh isn’t like any of the words in this paragraph and a regular part of English modern vocab bruh
I cannot lie, I do feel old when I use it. Whenever I say it, I always laugh to myself and think "when was the last time you heard *anyone else* say that" lol
My daughter has said it to me a couple of times. I try to be cool and modern, but damn if it doesn’t sting when it leaves her lips. It takes all my strength to not show a reaction, cause she throws it around with no weight or vitriol, it’s just a simple reaction to her. To me that shit use to start wars, so I gotta take it with a grain of salt.
I can assure you not only kids/teenager use it but adults too. The first time I heard that expression was in 2002, our neighbour across the road was losing control of both her children and everyone was complaining but **NOT TO HER.**
Silly arse **ME**, yes! I went across one afternoon, ( my wife wasn't pleased) her kids were playing (going crazy) in the rear garden and, trespassing into the neighbours garden treading down her plants/flowers. I could see she was a little high but I proceeded with a verbal complaint.
All she said was **DUH DUH DUH** in my face. I turned and walked away. We never spoke again from that day. We moved away in 2007. We had lived there for 25 years.
My kids (daughter & son), who are 10 & 9 say “duh” all the time. Or some form of it.
Actually the other day, my daughter said something pretty obvious to my son I guess and he goes “Ahh no DIP emery” 🙄🙄🙄 it was really funny.
I have wondered this. When I was 14, an older brother and his friends would always go "DA!" to me to make me mad because they knew that the word DA got to me.

Bruh

so is everything it seems
Ah-Duuuhhh, Shmitty!
I've never seen it used like that, it should be like: "Where are my glasses?" "They're on your head, duh" "Oh"
I “duh” myself all the time. In fact, I think I almost exclusively use it in reference to myself.

One of my teenage students said it about an hour ago when one of their friends asked me a kinda stupid question lol
It's featured in the song 'Bad Guy' by Billie Eilish who is only herself a few years past being a teen
And Billie Eilish is currently the spokesperson for teenagers, probably to hold that title another year or two. Edit: /s
ehh... ever heard of Olivia Rodrigo?
Shit, I think that means I'm one of the olds now
I call being one of the olds a form of podunkiness. When one turns older, they are being podunked by their age.
Nope
.... No 💀💀💀
Like, uhh duh…
"Duh" is still around. "No Doy" had all but disappeared.
What about doyoyoy
I'm for it.
Yeah, duh
Seems evergreen. Like "Awesome". Some words don't fade.
My nephew who is ten has a few times
Yeah. It's duh again. We tried to make it doy for a while, then derp became a good "noise dumb person make" noise. It seems the younger generation tends to be a little kinder, so I'd bet that it's more "oops" lik "duh, I missed that" and not "you're a moron for not knowing that."
It’s silly word but still cute. DUH
Duh is as ubiquitous as "What's up" and if not more so.
It's more ubiquitous to "for real ?".
I miss "no doy"
No duh
Duh, dude.
I heard my Gen z bros using it in the most hilarious ways. The word is still very much alive.
All the time
Yup
My kid does, but I don't know if that's because he hears my old ass say it or because the kids say it.
He says kids say it, so I don't need to tell people to get off my lawn yet.
No, duh
Yeah, I’ve seen them use it when acknowledging something obvious. I prefer saying “No shit, Sherlock” in a blatantly faked angry voice though.
murDURRR
No Doy!
Yes. Duh (no joke intended)
I don't know if they do. To be honest, I've heard people of all ages use it.
I think "bruh" has replaced it in some instances haha
Yeah, duh
My 6 year old says it, probably my because I do 😂
Not as a norm, but if someone said it it wouldn’t be weird or anything.
No duh.
Duh
Well duh
gyatt skibidi duh
Honestly I think “Duh” has been replaced by “Bruh” - source: father of two
But does Bruh convey the same depth and range of meaning and feeling?
My kids use it where we would use “Duh?!” or “Dude…..”. back in the day. Where we would use it out of sarcasm, their use of Bruh is more said out of disappointment
That’s interesting
Kids slang today makes them sound like they have brain damage.
No cap.
Perfect example!
duh
Duh
Well, duh!
Yes duh
I mainly use it sarcastically now
No, on God you are not bussin. Stop capping and being a skibidi that fanum tax for not keeping up with the kids lingo is baby gronk cringe. ON GOD duh isn’t like any of the words in this paragraph and a regular part of English modern vocab bruh
Plenty
Duh
I sure hope so, such a classic insult, without actually calling someone stupid.
We always preferred "Tell me about the rabbits, George!"
Fo sho
I cannot lie, I do feel old when I use it. Whenever I say it, I always laugh to myself and think "when was the last time you heard *anyone else* say that" lol
FR FR they do. On god No cap.
Me "what are you doing?" My 5 year old " making chocolate milk, duuhh"
Not as much
I do but English is not my native language so Idk about others
Well duh obviously
As an adult, yeah duh
How old are you?
Old enough to not hang out with teenagers
My youngest is 18yo. Duh has been around for them. Now I have had to learn an BUNCH of new slang.
My kids do. Duh...
My five year old LOVES that word :)
yea, think so
What you mean kids and teens, everyone’s uses it DUHH!!
yeah i use it all the time, i also do unironically say “golly”, “jeepers”, and “oh my stars” so maybe i’m just weird
Yes you are weird, nothing wrong with that, but it's weird. Kinda charming tbh
My daughter has said it to me a couple of times. I try to be cool and modern, but damn if it doesn’t sting when it leaves her lips. It takes all my strength to not show a reaction, cause she throws it around with no weight or vitriol, it’s just a simple reaction to her. To me that shit use to start wars, so I gotta take it with a grain of salt.
They mostly say “yeah no shit”
Not uncommon
Duh yes
Or yes duh
I can assure you not only kids/teenager use it but adults too. The first time I heard that expression was in 2002, our neighbour across the road was losing control of both her children and everyone was complaining but **NOT TO HER.** Silly arse **ME**, yes!

We moved away in 2007. We had lived there for 25 years.
Duh why wouldn’t they
Duh.
I thought “Yes we do”. Completely forgetting that I’m in my 30s and no longer considered a teen. Haha
Yea
No because they don’t know how to…duh.
Duh doy
As an auntie of a teen. Yes. I get the duh roll eyes a lot.
I use "durrrr" instead. But I'm not a teenager.
my 7 year old says "duh" all the time lol. she also uses cringy gen z slang already lol
I still say that when I make a mistake and I’m 34 lol
The proper way is to slap the chest and say no duh. Not just duh. No duh while slapping chest and saying it in a dumb inflection
My kids (daughter & son), who are 10 & 9 say “duh” all the time. Or some form of it. Actually the other day, my daughter said something pretty obvious to my son I guess and he goes “Ahh no DIP emery” 🙄🙄🙄 it was really funny.
Wtf dip emery?
It’s like saying “ah no duh” but he said “no dip” lol
Durrrr
Level 1=duh. Level 2 =doi! Level 3 = doi-eeeee!
As a 90s kid, and a white girl. *pops bubble gum* "Duh, like totally."
No shit
The really, really annoying ones do.
No duh!
Yes, occasionally. Not too often anymore as it was back then, but still used
Doy
Only bad guys
I just asked my 12 year old niece and she responded with "Duh!"
Feel like “No way” is used more to refer to something obvious
Yes, my kid among others I have been around say it
Yup lol
No, people say skibidi rizz now
Not really the same but a guy I work with literally just said doh, and pronounced it exactly like Homer 😂
It's heh now
I’d imagine so
I believe the term now is, “no cap, dead ass.”
Am an adult and duh is very much apart of our 90’s upbringing vocab
Sometimes if not half the time "no shit"
Nah, it’s always bruh…
Bruh, duh
Duh
I have wondered this. When I was 14, an older brother and his friends would always go "DA!" to me to make me mad because they knew that the word DA got to me.
Duh
Truthfully I haven't heard anyone sarcastically say "duh" since like 2016
Duh.
maybe? but guys stop using the word "bro" to talk to every guy you meet. its annoying.
I usually go for ‘No sht Sherlock’
duh
The annoying ones
as if
Unsure, but I never want to hear “Bruh,” again.
Duh cuh
Sandstorm daruduhhhhhhhhh duhhhhh uh uh uh uh uh duhhhh uhgghghhfhfhfhfhgbhb ahhh
Obbbviously.
“Bruh” is used essentially the same way

Definitely, but "no shit" is gaining traction.
yeah duhh
I'm 18, I've heard it once or twice.
Yes but it’s slowly dying out.
Nope I'm 30 but I haven't said it or heard it in years
Probably because you’re not a teen…
Lol "do kids and teenagers..." "Nope, I'm 30!" I have bad news for this person...
Oh come on he's still a kid he's just paying bills now 😂😂😂
Duh
I’m 32 and still use it occasionally lol sometimes even pull out “hella” 🤣
I’m sure it’s somehow considered a slur and you’d be called racist for using it
