When Did "Meh" Become Part of the Language?
 

i dunno, this word up until recently was unknown to me - maybe i saw it on some 15 year old's blog before but now everybody I know seems to be going 'meh'. it's the 'Meh Generation' - teenage mutant myspace cadets.

mutt: what's up?

friend: meh

mutt: ok.... meh

friend: meh

mutt: did you get that thing done i wanted you to do for me?

friend: uh........... meh

mutt: ok...... meh

meh




















































OMG MY COMEDIC REPLY IS SO FUNNY! :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

No, what is it supposed to mean ?

The IQ of the common public is dropping sharply with every passing year.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=meh&f=1

Meh is used to describe any and every word possible, including:

Yes
No
maybe
kind of
never
always
ok
alright
no thankyou
yes please
look bitch i really dont care so just shut the fuck up
if you want
whatever
If you wnat
i dont want to really
well
shut up
i dont really care
no honestly, i dont care...

...and is never explained on which is actually used...

"you wanna come round mine?"
"meh"
"whats that mean"
(told all of the definitions above)
"so which one? yes or no?"
"meh"
"that a yes?"
"meh"
"a no??"
"meh"
"a maybe???"
"meh?"
"maybe???"
"meh"
"look please tell me"

that's white ebonics.

used in the greatest tv show of all time The Simpsons. in the episode Hungry, Hungry Homer, bart and lisa respond to a homer inquiry with "meh"

Homer: Kids, how would you like to go... to Blockoland!
Bart & Lisa: Meh.
Homer: But the TV. gave the impression that--
Bart: We said "meh".
Lisa: M-E-H. Meh

**********************************

This is a universal, non-commital answer to every question ever posed. Its the answer that deosn't actually give any answer."So, you wanna do something tonight?" "Meh"

"Done anything good this week?" "Meh"

"How was it?" "Meh"

***********************************

obviously it's becoming part of the culture - over 140 definitions in the Urban Dicitionary.

i think this one sums it up

An expression of apathy.

"You feel like seeing a movie?"
"Meh."

a few years after "LOL"...

so fucking stupid when people say it, meh on the other hand is quite nice eh

Besides "meh", when did "dunno" become commonly acceptable as a replacement for "don't know"? I've been seeing that one everywhere, too.

there's also somebody on this board i see, uses the term,

mang

i was going to ask him what it was.

Substitute 'bleh' for 'meh' and you have q logs of my conversations with my college-attending son.

duh

Wut teh hells is dis?
Meh god yaz losted yer minds.

Fucken ehh mang.

you can trade your son with an outsourced employee from philipines

you save money + you make money

i had to do that to both my son and daughter

bah


__________

bah is old skool

I think this is "man" in a thick hispanic or cuban accent.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Not to mention I would probably better understand what the outsourced employee was saying to me!

I may take that advice.

Shows how well the kids now days are learing.

My cat taught me how to say "meh".

"HI Mr. Boo! I missed you so much today! Would you like some wet food?"

"meh"

"Hey Boo, how are you doing, did you miss me?"

"meh"

Did you get you sum poosee while I was at work?"

"meh"

"Aww, I love you too Mr. BOo!!"

Meh! Meh!

"Meh" really is a good word.

"meh".. <--- the sound sheep make.

jajaja

Its from Bart Simpson. Eric Cartman says it a lot too.

teh :pimp

nuff said

I especially love hearing "Dja what now?"

what's wrong with "meh".. it's pretty obvious what it means... when spoken i guess. An expression of apathy is a good definition. I didn't know about the every word thing.. that seems to be overstating it. isn't it just a verbal *shrug*?

I think this one speaks well that lingo.
