Default New word added to the dictionary... DOH!

Ummm... this is hilarious:

"The cartoon character Homer Simpson's forehead-smacking lament is one of some 250 entries being added today to the dictionary, which is widely considered the leading authority on the English language.
"Doh" is now defined as "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," according to the new entry in the dictionary."

If you've ever seen Ted Turner on TV, you know HE invented the word "DOH."
