Subject: help a reporter?



My name is Jacob Stohler and I write for The News & Observer in Raleigh,

NC. I'm working on a story about the increased use of the word "duh" --

as in "well, duh!" -- but can't find any formal info on it. Has anyone

published, researched, written or otherwise explored this particular

piece of slang? If so, I'd like to pick your brain, either by email or

phone.
