For weeks I've been trying to figure out what "Meh" means in the context of a diary/blog. You see, I am accustomed to this sound in the context of motherhood.
Me: �Do you want a cookie?�
Morgan (age 1) �Meh�
Me: �Do you want to go to school?�
Morgan (age 5) �Meh�
Me: �Do you want me to invite that boy to your party?�
Morgan (age 11) �Meh�
Me: �Do you want me to pick you up from the movies?�
Morgan (age 14) �Meh�
Me: �Do you want to show me your grades?�
Morgan (age 17) �Meh�
Me: �Do you want to meet my new boyfriend?�
Morgan (age 21) �Meh�
From the aforementioned exchanges we see that "Meh" means, among other things, �Yes, give me that cookie now and I will love you forever, or at least for the next fifteen minutes until I forget you gave me that cookie� or �Are you stark raving mad, I wouldn�t be seen being picked up by my mother if Jason and Freddy were both after me and I needed the ride to save my life.�
Obviously, the motherhood interpretation didn't fit. In lieu of absolute knowledge, I attempted to interpret the meaning based on the surrounding text in the entry:
Meh � Mostly excessive hooey
Meh � Men entertained here
Meh � Misogynistic extemporaneous harangue
Meh � Morbid existential hack
Meh � Misplaced euphemisms hated
Meh � Muckraking evil harridan
Meh � Mysterious elvish hex
Meh � Majorly exciting hai (look it up)
I could go on and on, but you get the picture. So imagine my surprise when I finally found Urban Dictionary . Morgan was, apparently, correct all along.
