Crossword Genius

Note that is stupid! (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

doh

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'note' is the first definition.
(alternative spelling of 'do' as in do re mi)

'that is stupid' is the second definition.
(exclamation expressing recognition of stupidity)

(Other definitions for doh that I've seen before include "How foolish of me" , "First note of major scale in music" , "Tonic (mus.)" , "The note C" , "for 7 [HOMER] of course!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
