Meh

Alright, so I am old. So, I don't watch the Simpsons. You've got it right: I may be the only American alive who has not even watched one entire episode.

What is with this "meh"? I had to look it up in google. And, apparently it means people don't care or an indifference (and, as many things in our society revolve around these days, it seems to have something to do with The Simpsons)? Will somebody please explain this phenomenon to an old fart, since I still don't understand it? Or, am I hopelessly old? I feel that way, lately. :cry:

Thank you.

(End of rant)

1. Meh..

It's more like a word you use when you have nothing much to add to the conversation.

3. I guess that explains the "indifference" definition

Thanks

2. It is, as most things Simpsons, the dumbing-down of Groenig

...in Life in Hell, the word was "feh," which is WAY smarter. :D

4. Do you mean Groening?

I'm not trying to be flip, I looked that up too.

Guess I should go back to school. Really!

5. LOL! Yep.

I'm a little tired. On the plus side, I noticed my hands were on the wrong starting keys the first time. Which made the message a little hard to read. I * r7rn;t jehqh y3 hf8yhew :rofl:
