Meh? What sort of word is that?

Do you know the meaning of the word 'meh'

Do you think it worthy of including in reputable Dictionary?

Would you be surprised to know the Collins Dictionary has just accepted the meaning

    Words in the dictionary are there so people can look up a commonly used phrase or word that they heard or read to see what it means. If "Meh" if commonly used, its allowed in the dictionary.

    The word "Meh" to me is more like a sound word. Just like the word "Crack" or "Bang", except for the fact that this word is like someone talking, and it's what they say when something is uninteresting, or boring.

    Hmmm, isn't it Scots Gaelic as in "Aee, bring meh hagus heare no!"

    Or

    It could be sheepish, you know meh, meh,meh!

    Meh is an interjection, an expression of apathy, indifference, boredom. It can also be an adjective, meaning mediocre or boring.

    Language evolves. Like it or not. I use meh, and lol but not all the rest of it. Makes no sense, but meh.

    Example of nonsense;

    ''stfu u du tho tha no.''

    If a word becomes common usage it gets included, like it or not. If you came back a thousand years from now, you would not be understood.
