There's an expression I use all the time in life, and I wish I could use it more here! But I'm not sure the meaning would come across without the delivery, the vocal inflection.
That expression is "doot-de-doo!"
Perhaps some of you could help me out with a little feedback. If I were to use that expression here ("doot-de-doo!"), what would you think it means?
I'd give you an example, say, use it in a sentence, but in most cases it functions as a standalone sentence. doot-de-doo!

"I'm so sorry for your loss, doot-de-doo!"
"Oh, baby, yeah, right there (doot-de-doo!), that's it, right there!"
"Doot-dee-doo, chump!"
Hmm. I don't know. It's a chameleon of an expression.
For example, "Look at this incredible bowl of cornflakes I made for you, doot-de-doo!"
How I've been using it is, when
You know what, it's been a while since I tried to write a dictionary-style def. Let me take a crack:
doot-de-doo: an interjection used to indicate when something stupid has been said or done with cheerful obliviousness.
Most often, it's used in relating a story of something you yourself have done ("And that's when I finally realized the guy was a cop! doot-de-doo!"). But it's also used when someone says something out loud, only to realize a second late that what they said was REAL dumb, one of those present might chime in with "doot-de-doo!"
But I am going to see if I can't work in some of these other uses. I'm guessing: it's all in how you say it!
doot-de-doo!
