Yeah, but you didn't make up or popularize these words.

I've been seeing "meh' in internet circles for longer than that, though it's definitely gotten much more commonly used in the past two or three years.

Lung Butter: the stuff that sticks to the lungs of a smoker that they have to "churn" in the morning to breathe.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure things like MILF and CFM have been around for quite a while, even though many people probably would think they're relatively new.
