Doubting Uncle Thomas 

An African-American who doesn't believe it is possible that an African-American can be elected as President of The United States.
The doubting Uncle Thomases are out proving the political pundits to be right.

Doubting Thomas 

This is based on the Biblical New Testament story where Thomas, one of the apostles of Christ, refused to believe that Jesus had risen from the grave without seeing evidence. On seeing this evidence, he praised those who believed without proof.

Typically this phrase is used in a midly derogatory. It describes someone who refuse to simply believe in something out of pure faith without asking for evidence. A devout Christian might consider me to be a doubting thomas because I don't believe there is a God since there's no evidence. The Christian considers it a bad thing that I'm not simply willing to have some faith.
Fanatic: How can you not believe in God? You don't want to be a doubting thomas?
Athiest: Normal people don't consider it a bad thing when others ask for proof when they make extraordinary claims. If I said that I am Zrlak, King of Mars, I would have little respect for you if you believed me without asking for evidence yet you expect me to just believe your equally ridiculous claims?

When you have to do some adult things, you can simply say dulting or spelt dultin'.

Either way is a very dumb way of saying you have adult responsibilities to take care of. First coined on X92.9 in Calgary by X Afternoons with Mariah and Ty
I have to do some dulting tonight and paint my house.
