An action where members of a marching band or drum corps, namely the battery(consisting of the snares, basses, tenors, and marching cymbals), will say the syllable "dut" to keep each other in time. Many drum corps and marching bands have all of the marchers dut when not playing in practice, but in performance it is usually only the battery that will be dutting.
1. "In sets twelve through fourteen, the battery has to keep dutting to make sure everyone stays together during the drum break."
2. "Dut, dut, dut, dut, dut..."
2. "Dut, dut, dut, dut, dut..."

A phrase often used by marching band/drum corps drummers to signal the last measure of resting before the line starts playing. Usually grouped based on the time signature of the piece being played.

An exclamation meaning "Oh, that fucking sucks!" Originally derived from "that suuuuuuuucks" - a term used at Edina High School in 2002. But later it morphed into the elusive dut. Often, the dut is complete with a hand motion that includes pointing one arm outward while hitting the inner elbow of said arm with the other hand. A dut can be used on yourself (self-dut), others (dut), or a large group of people (duts all around).
Mark: Yo Niko, I totally got blue-balled by this chick.
Niko: That's a big dut!
Mark: Yeah, total self-dut.
Niko: That's a big dut!
Mark: Yeah, total self-dut.
