Lisa Simpson spelled out M-E-H for Homer

One of the great contributions that the long running animated series, The Simpsons, has added to our cultural heritage is the word ” Meh.”  In fact,  on Monday, November 17th, it has been added to the Collins English dictionary.

According to an AFP release:

“The dictionary entry for “meh” will say it can be used as an interjection to indicate indifference or boredom, as an adjective to describe something as boring or mediocre, or to show an individual is apathetic or unimpressed.

The word was popularised by the US comedy animation series “The Simpsons“, where characters Bart and Lisa use it to express indifference when their father Homer suggests a day trip.”
