I see the word "meh" used incessantly in this forum. I have never seen it anywhere else in print. What the hell does it mean?

How can you not get meh? It practically defines itself.

it's a phrase that indicates disinterest, and when polled people who use it say that it's actually used outside of the internet. i strongly believe it existed on the internet first, and the only people who say it got it from there, and i think it's really gay. people say "eh...", not "meh."

I got it from the Simpsons...can't recall it being used much before that.

I disagree. I believe the word probably came from "eh" but I hear "meh" all the time. To say the word "eh" your mouth has to already be open. However, most people don't stand around slack-jawed all the time. If you try to say "eh" beginning with your mouth closed, it comes out "meh". In a round about way, I guess "meh" is a shortened version of "eh".

[/ QUOTE ]I've used meh (not meth), since I was 13, and I got it from The Simpsons. I'm surprised you don't know what it means.

[/ QUOTE ]It certainly didn't come from the net first. It definately came from The Simpsons.

So it's not the 'enema' (I'll spell it right this time) thing?

[/ QUOTE ]I donno the exact context but I remember something to the effect of Bart thinking of the negative consequences of his future actions, then when deciding to go ahead and do [insert something stupid] anyways, he says "Meh". I believe Lisa's said it before too, and so has Nelson. I can try and find the exact context of the first time it was used.

I'm pretty sure this thread is the definition of meh.

I thought it was Yiddish. And "it definitely came from the Simpsons" is a ridiculous statement.
