Help me understand

Postby Stan » Fri Jul 08, 2005 2:36 am

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.

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

You foreigners use "meh" too?

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

Now that's interesting.

Yes, we use 'meh'. Mostly as an expression of ambivalence.

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:
