Cantr II Discussion Forum

I can usually figure out the shorthand used these days on the computer and over cell phone text messaging, like BTW, LOL, etc....but what is the meaning of Meh? I've seen it on several posts and for the life of me cannot figure it out. There's another which I can't think of now, but will later.

Meh, i don't think it's letters stand fore anything. it means you don't really care. LOL means laugh out loud.

It doesn't stand for anything. It's a sound made usually accompanied by a shrug.

nevermind...lol

Meh is also the name of someone who used to play Cantr.

You foreigners use "meh" too?

I have always thought "meh" came from "men", which is Swedish for "but..."

Now that's interesting.

It first popped up as an Internet meme in the late 80s or early 90s, and has gained in popularity partly because it's amazing and partly because it's been used somewhat often on the Simpsons.

However, not all are fully appreciative of it's talents:

Meh is the thing between hmph and no.
