NEW YORK (AIP) - Famed linguistics expert and social icon Millard McQueen, whose creation of the word 'Duh' rocketed him to stardom passed away Thursday, after a brief but painful illness.
McQueen's creation of 'Duh' in 1979 was seen by critics as a more family friendly way of telling others how banal their less than insightful comments really are, replacing the then popular 'you're a dumbass'.
Two years later, in 1981, McQueen cemented his legacy by adding the prefix 'No' to the root word 'Duh', thereby expanding the flexibility of his literary creation.
McQueen was 81.
