Duh! vs. Doy!

When my daughter Erika (35) was in elementary school "doy!" was the way
someone said the teacher was pitching instruction at too elementary a level;
when my daughter Esther (17) got to the same school it had become "duh!" so
I doubt that the Simpsons were responsible, unless the woman who does the
voice of Bart (an Ohio Univ grad), brought the expression with her...
