[Xithras]

I don't think the Simpsons actually invented any of them

Maybe "D'oh!" and "mmm....donuts", but the rest were in use long before Bart came on the scene.

I remember my brother being fond of Duh-Oh in elementary school, and my grandfather used Okydokily as far back as I can remember. Woohoo has been around absolutely forever, and "Don't have a cow, man" sprung up sometime in the 1980's, and I remember Egg-see-lent from the Cosby Show.

[Dr Fate]

29. Sure- but the show popularized them. n/t

37. I met Nancy Cartwright's father...

...shared a table with him at a banquet thing a couple times. Nancy is the voice of Bart, and he said that she picked up a number of "old timey" sayings from him (the Dad) and they'd find their way into Simpsons scripts. For sure, one was when Bart says "Ninny on yer tintype" and also some of the inexplicable Cockney stuff Bart does... I specifically recall him mentioning those to me.

Too bad Nancy is a Scientologist...

I really love some of the stuff they write for Grampa (Abe) Simpson... "...of course, back then, nickles had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. You'd say "Gimme five bees for a quarter..."

"Respect mah authoritah!" ...oh wait. That's the other kid. ;)
