During the episode "A Star is Burns", Mr. Burns asks his faithful assistant Waylon Smithers if the crowd is booing his blatantly egotistical motion picture. Smithers, ever the yes-man, replies that they are saying "boo-urns" (i.e. "Burns"), and not "boo". When Burns asks for clarification, the crowd replies that they are indeed saying "boo", and not "boo-urns". After the crowd replies, Hans Moleman says that, in fact, he was saying "boo-urns". A Star is Burns is the 18th episode of The Simpsons sixth season. ... Waylon J. Smithers, Jr. ... Hans Moleman is a fictional character of The Simpsons and is voiced by Dan Castellaneta. ...

This denial of booing probably derives from the common practice of sports fans cheering for an athlete with a name (or nickname) containing an "oo" sound with a chant of the name that ironically resembles a "boo." Sportscasters covering the game often feel the need to explain to viewers/listeners that, as an example: "The crowd isn't booing, they're saying 'Lou' [as in Piniella]."

The phrase first appears in The Simpsons episode "Lisa's First Word".^[1] During the episode, there is a flashback in which Homer Simpson and Bart are watching the Krusty the Clown show. During the show, Homer notices that Bart likes clowns and decides to build a new bed for him, shaped like a clown rather than buying him a new bed. However, due to Homer's questionable handicraft skills, the clown bed has a highly menacing appearance, causing Bart to imagine the clown behaving terrifyingly. Instead of "laughing himself to sleep" as Homer intended, Bart stays awake in a fetal position repeatedly uttering the phrase "Can't sleep, clown will eat me." Bart is therefore suffering from coulrophobia (fear of clowns) as well as clinophobia (fear of going to bed) and fear of being eaten. Simpsons redirects here. ...

When schoolteacher Edna Krabappel hears the Springfield town motto, "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man," she comments she'd never heard of the word embiggens before moving to Springfield. Miss Hoover, another teacher, replies, "I don't know why; it's a perfectly cromulent word". Edna Krabappel is a fictional character featured in The Simpsons, voiced by Marcia Wallace. ... Springfield is the fictional city in which the TV series The Simpsons is set. ...

The town Crier in Yate, near Bristol, England A town crier is a person who is employed by a town council to make public announcements in the streets. ...

Based on the context in which Miss Hoover uses the word cromulent, we can interpret that she intends it to mean "legitimate", "applicable" or "appropriate." Principal Skinner seems to use it to mean "more than acceptable" or "more than adequate"; these usages would also (in an assumed lexical context) satisfy Miss Hoover's use of the word. Perhaps both characters intend it to mean "authentic", which would validate both uses of the word (e.g. "it's a perfectly authentic word" and "he embiggened that role with his authentic performance"). Lisa uses it later in that episode, when instead of telling the truth about Jebediah Springfield, she accepts that the myth and the made-up words have inspirational value. The word has a sort of self-referential irony about it: as a made-up word it possesses none of the qualities that it describes. A self-reference occurs when an object refers to itself. ...

Both "embiggen" and "cromulent" were quickly adopted and used by Simpsons fans. Cromulent has taken on an ironic meaning, to say that something is not at all legitimate and in fact spurious. Indeed the DVD commentary for "Lisa the Iconoclast" makes a point of reinforcing that "embiggen" and "cromulent" are completely made up by the writers and have since taken on a life of their own via the Internet and other media.

It may be argued that "D'oh" is not a Simpsons neologism, as actor Dan Castellaneta based the phrase on Jimmy Finlayson's similar utterance in many Laurel & Hardy films; however, Finlayson did not exclaim the term as Castellaneta does, but used it as more of a muttered whine.
