meh According to Merriam Webster, meh is:
—used to express indifference or mild disappointment
First Known Use of meh: 1992
adjective
1 : not impressive : so-so ·a meh documentary
2 : apathetic, indifferent ·the movie left me feeling meh
The Oxford English Dictionary also lists meh, with definition very similar to that of M-W. However, the OED suggest an earliest use of «1928 or earlier.» Meh has made it into the NY Times, as quoted by the OED:
2012 N.Y. Times (National ed.) 1 Nov. b13/1 Who else could they
root for? The Chicago Bulls? Impossible. The Boston Celtics?
Unconscionable. The team in New Jersey? Meh
and into other mainstream publications
2010 Time Out N.Y. 20 May 52/1 While this seems like an also-ran
collection..even meh Picasso is better than a lot of the stuff out
there.
The word is often uttered with a shrug of the shoulders and a deprecating expression on the face. I always assumed that the origin of meh was Yiddish, and was surprised to find, in meh, Wikipedia that its origin is speculative:
The origin is unknown. Some have speculated that the term’s origin is
Yiddish because of its similarity to the interjection «feh»,[3] which
appears in the 1936 Yiddish song Yidl Mitn Fidl. In Alexander
Harkavy’s «Yiddish-English-Hebrew Dictionary» the word is treated as a
bleating or baa sound. Hooray for Yiddish, by Leo Rosten uses the word
«mnyeh», which is speculated to be an early variant of «meh».

Learn what to say instead of “interesting” in English. Grow your Business English vocabulary with the following alternative words for “interesting.”
This year, I decided to start a new project: gardening.
I had no gardening experience whatsoever, so in the past few months, I have been reading every gardening book I could find at the library.
Whenever I tell my husband about something fascinating I have read, I catch myself saying things like:
“Isn’t it interesting that there are thousands of varieties of fruit and vegetables, while we only get around 20-30 varieties at the supermarket?”
“Did you know that tomatoes and basil are a good pair when cooking as well as planted in the garden? I find that so interesting.”
At work, we often find ourselves using the English word interesting, as well.
It’s a great word. That’s why I use it so much myself.
So many ideas, books, videos, articles, speeches, and podcasts are interesting.
But just like many other simple, useful English words, it’s easy to overuse the word.
