"Homer Simpson's popular catchphrase “d'oh!” is one of the 250 new entries added to the updated online edition of Oxford English Dictionary, published on Thursday. The dictionary's research reveals that the grunt was used extensively in the 1950s, but The Simpsons only popularized it. “My job is the perfect excuse for watching action films, soaps, quiz programmes – where the language is busy right now,” said chief editor John Simpson.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines the term as “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.” In addition to the standard Simpsons way of spelling the utterance, the dictionary includes a variant “doh.”
It was Dan Castellaneta, the voice of Homer Simpson, who first came up with the popular catchphrase. In the early scripts for The Tracey Ullman Show shorts, Matt Groening had simply written “annoyed grunt.” Castellaneta adapted “d'oh!” from a Scottish actor named James Finlayson, who appeared in Laurel and Hardy comedies. Whenever Finlayson's character was frustrated, he used to say “dooooh.”
By Groening's request, Castellaneta speeded it up, and “d'oh!” was born. In the Simpsons scripts and episode names, however, only “annoyed grunt” remains to be used."

Homer: "Careful now...careful" (the drill bit sinks in deep to Homer's eyes) "Too far"
