Darren: Somebody told my bos that I'm looking for another job.
Tina: Was he mad at you?
Darren: Duh! He called me to his office and we had a 30-minute conversation about why I'm not happy working for him.
Tina: Sorry Darren, it was me. I couldn't help it. He kept forcing me to tell him the truth. I hope he won't fire you because of that.
Explanation:
Duh: When you think something is so obvious and the other person should also be able to see.
A 30-minute conversation instead of a 30 minutes conversation.
I can't help it: When you can't control or stop something from happening.
Another example is "I couldn't help but laugh when he told me the joke"
