I use the word "duh" online and doesn't really get annoyed when someone tell that to me ONLINE, cause I know it's just internet,....

but heck, I get really pissed when someone in person tell that.. like straight in your face...
"DUUUUUUUH".
Ahhh, hearing it makes me want to smack them on the face.. It makes me feel so stupid. Haha.
Is it just me? I know i'm weird lool. ~
im awesome and i am not just saying that.

"Indeed" sounds so much more cooler and makes you look cool.
You should say cool things to show off how cool you are.

Or you can choose some of the more amusing "of course" or "obviously".

I never use it; there's so many other words/phrases you could use in place of it. "Duh" just sounds really juvenile, like the kind of thing a 3rd grader would use when they want to sound "cool".

It bothers me a bit when someone says "duh" to me, in person or online.
I think it's rude, but then again, sometimes I say it too.

I think it's obnoxious used in any way but sometimes when someone doesn't understand the obvious it's hard not to think of it or use it.

I use it online and in real life, especially when people don't seem to
understand something completely simple. It never annoyed me when
people said it so yeah. o_o

It sounds ruder online than it does irl, since you can't really sense sarcasm online. But in real life, I do say duh when someone states the obvious, like, "It's cold..." "Because it's snowing, duh." There's not really another word to replace duh except for phrases like.. well of course.

I admit, I do say it, but only when someone says something really obvious like that.

Are there people who say "no durr" instead of "duh?"
cause more people around my area say "no durr" than "duh."

Or maybe you just failed to explain it very clearly.

A: "define maturity"
B: "duh are you stupid?"

Completely simple huh.

Kids used to be so obsessed with that word in 3rd grade that they would even exchange it to "doi". True it gets kind of annoying after a while.
