It's not an acronym. It's an expression of astonishment at one's lack of understanding. As in, "well, duh..."

[+scaramedic]

The the DOH moment was followed by...

 

You didn't put the whole quote.

 

It actually read...

 

The the DOH moment was followed by... a rush of comforting warm air from the ceiling.

 

DOH = Direct Overhead Heating.

Anyone care to speculate that the OP is saying that phrase about now?

notice the apostrophe. That's important! "D'OH!" is a contraction of "DUH! OH!"

Let's use proper grammar here!

Duh comes from the low-brow pronunciation of ah or uh. "d'ah, (uh) which way did he go George?" Some high-brow grammarian that decided that it needed to be spelled appropriately. From there people are using it to mock others as if they are someone who should be sayn. D'uuuhhh.

D'oh!

[+T_M_H]

It is usually preceded by a palm to the forehead.

[+Ecylram]

I means I forgot to bring a pen with me.

[+J the Goat]

I means I forgot to bring a pen with me.

 

....and I'm 4 miles from the car.

[+Isonzo Karst]

It means I loaded the gps about a week ago, but couldn't go that day.

 

**Now I'm on the caching trail with week old data......

 

****The cache I'm aiming for has been moved 75 feet since then

 

******AND I passed within 600ft of a brand new cache ---> could'a' had the FTF, if I'd had current info

 

********DNFs are the day's harvest - fun yet? D'oh!!

That's what mud and a stick are for. Done that several times.

Hehehe hahaha I have used D'oh in a few DNFs and a few finds... LOL It is actually part of my vocabulary... Like when someone drops something on the ground "D'oh!" Or when a friend said he got a speeding ticket - "D'oh!!" It should be added to Websters Dictionary if it hasn't been added already... LOL

In 2001, the word was added to the Oxford English Dictionary; The definition given is:

 

Expressing frustration at the realization that things have turned out badly or not as planned, or that one has just said or done something foolish. Also (usu. mildly derogatory): implying that another person has said or done something foolish (cf. DUH int.).

 

The headword spelling is doh, but d'oh is listed as a variant (as is dooh), and the etymology section notes "the word appears (in the form D'oh) in numerous publications based on The Simpsons". Eight quotations are cited: the earliest is from 1945; two others are Simpsons-related.

-(D'oh!)

 

Rhymes with COW, btw.

So I guess 'Dumb Old Homophobe' isn't one of the options?

Hmm, not when I've heard it. Rhymes more with dough.

[+BuckeyeClan]

My own subtle nuance between "d'uh" and "d'oh":

 

When it's somebody else that does something bone-headed, the little voice inside my head says "d'uh!" When it's *me* that does something bone-headed, the little voice inside my head says "d'oh!" (And I agree with gorillagal that it sounds more like "dough," at least that's the way the little voice inside my heads says it.)

Ah, guess you're right. I only remember it from years ago. I stopped watching the show about 2005.
