The word 'meh'

[mrsseanbean]

I was not familiar with this term pre-MN. Having done some research it appears to indicate indifference. Is this the case with MN usage?
I do think it is a wonderfully expressive word and have resolved to use it more often.

[GrimmaTheNome]

meh

[edam]

It's new-ish to me, too, and I regard it with some affection. Jolly useful.

[RustyBear]

meh

It's a favourite word of DS, I first came across it in an MSN conversation with him.

[KingCanuteIAm]

Isn't this the one that was added to the OED this time round?

Hate it

[BibiThree]

How do we say "meh" with the appropriate intonation then? In case I need to use it any time soon? I am imagining it to be quite phonetic...?

[snowboo]

I thought this was an annoying word used by my teenage nephew! God, need to start getting hip and cool....

[Molesworth]

pron. "mair" in nasal tone

Bibi, open your mouth and make a dismissive shape with it, a silent snarl if you will. The correct sound should come out. IMHO.

I shrug when I say it.

[edam]

It's like vocalising that shrug that Parisennes do so well.

Edam it is very like [[dictionary.reverso.net/french-english/bof bof]

[BlackEyedDogstar]

Ds started saying this at about 24mths.

I think he meant 'Shite.'
