"D'oh!"

Responsible parent that I am, I'm raising my boy on a diet of "The Simpsons".
Where else could he learn from such a father-son team as Homer and Bart?
Bart: "Ah, man, working for other people is for suckers!"
Homer: "Son, I'm very proud of you! I was at least twice your age before I figured that out."
And now, of course, Kenny's picked up the word, "D'oh". Homer's famous annoyed grunt. I've been trying to steer towards "D'oh" when more colourful and slightly longer words want to come out. I guess it could be worse.
