Meh Is Officially A Word


LONDON—At least someone is excited about "meh": The expression of indifference or boredom has gained a place in the Collins English Dictionary. Publisher HarperCollins announced Monday that the word had been chosen for inclusion in the dictionary's 30th anniversary edition. The origins of "meh" are murky, but it grew in popularity after being used in a 2001 episode of "The Simpsons" in which Homer suggests a day trip to Bart and Lisa. The children reply "meh" and keep watching TV.



So all of you people who respond ??? or WTF? on Bear411 after I use the word "meh" to describe how my day was, or how I am feeling, can go look it up.

Meh - The expression of indifference or boredom.

(also note if I use meh it can either mean that I am bored or don't care, or that I am bored with you or don't care to talk to you, depends on who the person is in question.)
