"Duh/no duh/doy/no doubt/guy" It's the cola/soda/pop of eye rolls→[More:]
Depending on US region, they all meant the same thing but but which did you use? Are there others?
When I was in school exasperated teenagers would make either of two sounds while eye-rolling. Either the brief guttural sound of a Dutch spoken g. Or make a single 'tut' sound by having the tongue close against the palate and letting in air through under pressure. As I imagine tutting sounds.
No idea whether those expressions of exasperation are universally recognisable or local in time or space....

Those work in America, too, as hallmarks of teen exasperation.How interesting.
