Where the fuck did "meh" come from?

If I really don’t care, you think I’m going to go to all the trouble of pronouncing three whole syllables?

It came from my sweetie of an ex-roommate. blink

Actually, I mutated it into ‘neh’ for my own purposes. Pisses off my current roommate to no end (it’s unbecoming) :rolleyes: so I shall keep doing it just to get under her skin, I think. I am not a Jane Austen girl. If I was in a situation that demanded me to be phonectially more asute, I would not use it. But I’m not in said situation when I’m around her.

/S

I like the word ‘meh’. I don’t think I use it enough. :slight_smile:

Understood. Thanks

Zuh?

Heh…

Hey, I thought it was relevant…

and you say “feh” when you’re not moved enough to say “k!”

Thanks for all the replies. My opinion has softened now that I know it’s 1) used by Jewish grandmothers and 2) said on The Simpsons (I really need to watch that show more often). At least it comes from good stock, unlike, say, “Not” which took me a long time before I found out it came from SNL, which made me hate it even more.

If it’s good enough for E-Sabbath’s grandma and Lisa Simpson, I’ll quit bitching about it. (Please shoot me if I ever use it myself though)

Zug zug. Dabu. Loktar!

Wha? Oh, heh… Meh! Eh? Bah!

Agreed.

I’m not that kind of Orc!

Who you want me kill?

(See the humor of that coming from a poster named Ogre? SEE IT?!)

OWWW! I no like you anymore.
Meh.
Feh.

Bwah?

Pfft.

Dogbert says it a lot in Dilbert comic strips. I allways assumed it origionated there, although seeing it was on the Simpsons now makes me wonder who said it first, Lisa Simpson, or Dogbert. Hmmmmm…

Not at all, it’s at least 100 years old.

Go play Warcraft II and all will be clear. Maybe III, I dunno if the Horde has the same lines.

Wow that was super hilarious man. Can’t stop laughing.
