Nope, same word, it is just that the illiterates who write for 'The Simpsons'
had forgotten the spelling.
I hope you hesitate to look for context in the next stop sign you encounter.

Nope. Different word. One I'm fairly sure you're not familiar with, nor
have you heard it in its original context. As a disclaimer, I'll state that I
can't claim to have heard it more than once, since it originated on the tv
cartoon series, "The Simpsons." I only watched one episode of it. Ever.
However, it's a demonstration that context is important, no. essential to
understanding the full meaning of words. Period. I'll leave with a quote from
Samuel Clemons (Mark Twain) "Loyalty to petrified opinion never yet broke a
chain or freed a human soul."
Here's an interesting riddle that could be a koan: if I refuse to acknowledge
that people or things can have more than one name, does that mean that Mark
Twain's writings don't exist if I choose to know him only as Samuel Clemens?
Meditation upon that may be harmful to your sanity. Use liquid cooling on
your CPUs.

Duh. American slang is fun but outside of rational communication. More of a
cultural symbolism than a means of discussion.
Like, you know, duh, you know.

That's true even (D'OH) is in there now.
D'oh!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation , search
Homer Simpson exclaiming the famous quote
"D'oh!" is a catch phrase used by the fictional character Homer Simpson,
from the long-running animated sitcom The Simpsons (1989-present). It is
typically used when Homer injures himself, realizes that he has done something
stupid, or when something bad has happened or is about to happen to him. Other
members of his family-including Bart , Marge , Lisa , Grampa , and even his
mother and brother -have been known to use it themselves. Other characters (
Mr. Burns, etc.) have also used this phrase.
In 2006, "D'oh!" was listed as number six on TV Land's list of the 100
greatest television catchphrases. [1] [2] The spoken word "D'oh" is a sound
trademark of 20th Century Fox. [3]

Yes but it isn't 1350 and the meanings of words change to
adapt
to the current spoken and written language. The dictionary is not set in
stone it's constantly being updated by having words removed and added.
Not
enough are removed though.
