Where did “meh” start?? I hear it all the time, and while mainly from Daz, ive noticed alot of other people saying it. But where did it start?? I assume its a variation of “eh” or, “well…” etc. but when/where did it start.
I know, this is one of the strangest topics ive ever started on any forum.
…
Woah, I just found out there’s a place called Wiktionary. <_<;
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/meh
That says what it’s mostly used for, but usually I just use it when it sounds good. Meh, I dunno.
its kinda like shrugging your shoulders, and being halfhearted.
Meh, that sounds about right. I never really got into the simpsons, so i dunno. Meh, i kinda like meh.
meh is just meh…its not specific, nor is it as versatile as the f-word, it generally is just…yaknow…nothing…its kinda apathetic…
you mean fuck? that word can be used for many many things. pretty much anything.
I like the Slovenian def on wiki, your right Daz does ‘meh’ alot.
soltare and zub can be used for many different things, but soltare is built more toward a mild insult.
If you ask me, I think it evolved from Flash animators. I animate in Flash a lot, and I know quite a bit of animators, and they say it all the time…It was sometime after that, that I noticed other groups of people started saying it. But I say it all of the time outa habit. Sometimes I actually say it in the “real world” … “away from the computer” … Like my mom tells me to do something
It’s like I have a choice of what to say to her. It’s either SHUT THE FUCK UP. Or just Meh.
kinda like a sigh or a groan right?
it is a sign of little concern, for instance, if something bad happens, but you dont care enough to do anything about it (you come home from work/school, and there is a rampaging monkey on your ceiling…you just kinda shrug, say “meh” and get on the computer)
Well said.
lmao, yes, a perfect example of everyday life!
