What does DUH mean in Scrabble?
interjection
informal
A sound made to mark something as obvious.
Duh does two things at once: it answers a question and mocks whoever asked it. American in origin and now general, it works best alone and at the end, and in writing it needs no punctuation beyond a full stop — an exclamation mark spoils the flatness the whole effect depends on.
