It's an expression of indifference, methinks.

Or as in,

"Hey Nate, how are you today?"
"Meh."

It is also something The Cheat says.

What about as in "I STILL HAVE MEH HASTINGS"?

Oh, I think in that context, it means "my."

'Meh,' distantly related to 'wah.' I tend to use both 'meh' and 'wah.' 'Meh' for frustrated and indifferent reactions; 'wah' for surprised reactions. My friends all find this very humorous.

It's in the Wiktionary: Meh

regarding 'meh' in the 'wiktionary. anyone else amused that 'Kurdish' is a language? not that there's any reason why it shouldn't be. but I just think of cottage cheese and other dairy products talking, when I think of kurdish. <.< XD

uh..yea. carry on.

Sometimes I think people do have a loose idea of what it means, and as far as I'm concerned it can NOT be used as "my" unless it was spelled "mah".

Meh is meh... it is an indifference.
Like "Do you want something to eat?" "meh". Means you don't really feel like it or care. It's more of "lazy" talk I guess and people get mad that you don't geive them a straight answer.
"So you don't want anything to eat?" "Meh!" "Do you or do you not want anything" "I SAID meh!"

Heh I've never seen The Cheat so it's not where I picked it up from^^ I think it was a slight manifest of this one Simpson ep I watched where Homer gets a helper monkey and they make some werid sound that sounded like "ehhh..." that I ended up using alot and then turned into meh over time.

I tend to use "oi" a lot though...

*reads the definition and cracks up* That's great. Wouldn't a grunt work just as well? Eh (pronounced "eh", not "ay"; I'm not Canadian) works, too. And if used as a sign of irritation, would "feh" be its counterpart? A sign of greater irritation than "meh", I mean.

"Meh" is an expression of annoyed disinterest.

"Have you done your homework?"
"Meh."

Yeah, that's how I use "meh", as an expression of annoyance or indifference. "Feh" is more of a scoff.

In Japanese it sounds like he things like "keh" alot which more suit his character. "meh" wouldn't cut it for a guy like him, cause keh sounds angrier anyways.
