D'OH!

D'oh! : "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. Also (usu. mildly derogatory): implying that another person has said or done something foolish" (Oxford English Dictionary)

Hehe.. yes I'm a great fan of the Simpsons. But anyhow, theoretical the Simpsons may not add that much to our information society, but TV do. I think it's one of the most important medias we have, beside the internet to distribute information to the world.

So I think this is an good example of the "power" the television possesses as a medium. After pressure from the people, the Oxford English Dictionary, which is probably the most important and well knowned dictionary in the world, had to add the word D'oh in 2001.

Catch you later! Have a nice day :-D
