I had a friend who used the word 'meh' a lot, and i seriously thought it was just her. She would use it to describe a sort of blah, not good not bad, nothing really happening kind of day. It would go like this:
How are things today?
Meh. (read: nothing exciting, but nothing horrible)
Or like this:
How was dinner with the in-laws?
Meh. (read: not as bad as it could have been, but not exactly fun, either)
Or maybe like this:
You feeling any better?
Meh. (read: no, not really, but I'm tired of complaining.)
Or even this:
Would you rather fly to Paris for shoe shopping, or have cosmetic surgery in Beverly Hills
(read: six of one, half dozen of the other)
So, you see, this word has many, many uses. These are just a few examples. I adopted it, and started using it in various contexts myself.
Then a read someones blog that claimed that it was a non-word. I have to say, I got a little bit defensive. Not only is it a real word, it is a glorious word with so many uses!It's been a long time since such a rich, descriptive word has been introduced into our language.
What do you all think?
