I don't mind it when used self referentially. I might say "Duh" to myself if I miss something obvious. And I've been known to think it on occasion or use it to the TV during newscasts or political speeches.
But one of my son's friends said it to a peer the other day, and I didn't like it *at all*.
When my son got home, I had him describe what Duh meant then had him stick it into a sentence. He said it wasn't really necessary as he didn't use the word, but still...
Now if I can just do the same with eye rolling, which I know he does do (at least to me).
