Meh

[paintnolish]

I'm meh about "meh." It's spreading like wildfire.Something about it annoys me, though. I don't know why!

 

[redlight]

I love the expression. It says so much with so little.

Any translation for the over 40 crowd (OK, I'm not turning 40 til Friday, but I'll rush it to get the info).

I don't like it, either. It just insinuates something that makes me want to slap the person who says or types it, kwim??

Although it's not in the same league as my deep and passionate hatred for "no problem." THAT one really takes my very last nerve and shreds it...it seems to be used mostly at fast food drive up windows by teenagers. This is why I go to Chick-Fil-A so often - they are always "happy to see me at the window" and the other day it was "a great day at Chick-Fil-A, may I help you?" Somehow I don't think their employees would ever say "no problem" to me...

I don't like "no problem" in place of "you're welcome".

 

[DVCLiz]

I don't like "no problem" in place of "you're welcome".

Yes, that's what I meant. It's like, "I thought it might be problematic to give you the service you have requested but in the end I found it not to be a problem after all, so you got lucky this time." I'm sure the teens don't mean it that way but I always want to say, "How many people have pulled up to this window today that HAVE been problems?"

Meh, from what I have been able to discern, is an even more lackadaisical version of "whatever". But I have also seen it used in place of the word "me".

Oh, "whatever" - guaranteed to make my hair stand on end.

I use it as a description for mediocre to slightly bad, but not really bad. Examples: "the food at the restaurant was meh" or "Jennifer Lopez is meh".

 

[dejr_8]

Yada yada yada...

 

[paintnolish]

It's almost like what you are talking about was so subpar, it doesn't even register a "whatever." It's like it doesn't deserve a long-ish word!

No problem? I hate when people ask you to do something and say "please and thank you." Let me explain..."Can you hand me that paper? Please and thank you!" It's like they can't take the time to thank you after they do what they've asked.

 

[Uuaww]

Meh- created by The Simpsons.

 

[Shelton123]

Meh

ajd. Bland, boring, ordinary
n. "Me" used when writing an LOLcat
int. whatever

Those are all of the definitions. If you see any other, they are using "meh" incorrectly.

 

[Darsa]

Oh, "whatever" - guaranteed to make my hair stand on end

This term has been forbidden in my house; I cannot STAND it!

"How many times have I asked you to pick up the laundry on your floor?"

"Whaaatever..."

"WHAT!!!" (screech)

And the grounding commences...

 

[JR6ooo4]

well wildfires generaly don't take 10-20 years. That has been around since lisa first said it on the simpsons.

I can't stand "meh." I'm a mod on a movie/comic book fan message board and it's the most commonly used word when people review movies they don't like. "How was the movie?" "It was meh." They even use it as a poll option when rating a movie.

I think it's the ex-film student in me that remembers writing long detailed essays about film in college (even bad films) that just gets riled up when someone else thinks "meh" is an acceptable review.

It is not a word. It's a sound you make when you shrug. And if you're too lazy to use actual words to describe a film, TV show, song, book, play, etc...then your review is useless to me.

okay...rant done...

 

[MariDisney]

Thanks for defining. It obviously isn't spreading like wildfire in my circles. LOL Is it pronouned with the e to rhyme with the e in net? Or a long e?

Not what it means at all. It's like purgatory, not good not bad but boring. It's from the Simpsons. Lisa Simpson said it at least 10 years ago.

Maybe she used it that long ago, but it is now spreading. Would you like it better if I said it was like a volcano, slowly rumbling for the past ten years ago, now erupting "meh" all over the internet?
Oh, and thanks Tag Fairy...I am now branded with "meh!" I can't escape it!
