no duh
Mocking obvious statement
No duh is a dismissive response meaning "obviously" or "of course"—used when someone states something self-evident: A: "It's cold outside." B: "No duh, it's snowing.".
The phrase carries mild contempt, suggesting the speaker has stated something too obvious to be worth saying.
Common in casual American speech, especially among younger speakers.
