Word of the day from “The simpsons”: MEH

Today’s word of the day was recently submitted into the dictionary from the long running hit television series : THE SIMPSONS
I’d like to thank Nicole, the girl with the CALLIPYGIAN (recently referred to in past word of the day), for bringing this to my attention.

Don’t have a cow man, but a word from The Simpsons has just been added to the Collins English Dictionary.

What’s that you say? You couldn’t care less, well now you could used the word ‘Meh’ to express your utter boredom and lack of interest in the odd news.

M-E-H which can mean unimpressed, mediocre or boring, has been added to the 30th anniversary edition of Collins English Dictionary which will be published in 2009.

The word made it as the public’s entry for the new edition - it was submitted by Erin Whyte from Nottingham, who clearly did care whether the word was added.

He said it was “an expression of utter boredom or an indication of how little you care for an idea”.
Cormac McKeown, head of content at Collins Dictionaries, says the word comes from the US with and that its use in The Simpons added to the argument it should be added the dictionary, in part because it is spelled out.

In an episode of The Simpsons Homer is trying to prise the kids away from the TV with a suggestion for a day trip.

They both just reply ‘meh’ and keep watching TV; he asks again and Lisa says ‘We said MEH! - M-E-H, meh!’
