(12 years later) Apparently the word "duh" as we know it today, used to express sarcasm towards someone who has said something obvious, appeared in the 1940s. The Oxford English Dictionary cites the earliest evidence from 1943 in Merrie Melodies. 204.11.189.94 14:24, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Question

Could duh be related to Russian da ? They sound similar and da can be used ironically in the same way duh is. See the Russian language television series Gogol. Episode 2: The Red Shirt. At 18:27 Gogol asks Tesak if the doctor is drunk. He replies "da" and it sounds exactly like "duh."
