"Meh" now a real word. At least according to Harper Collins.

So, what do you think of the newest addition to the English language? Good? Bad? General disinterest, best expressed by the addition in question?

Well I find this very exciting and evidence that the english language is constantly changing in the world around us. Of course people who obsess over english should be will view this as a travesty and the further death of 'good' language. But the function of language is to first, woo the opposite sex, and two express one thoughts. Just because one can use a three letter word instead of a five, seven, eleven, or longer doesn't make any word better.

Yeah, I wanted to see how long of a post I could make about this, not much more than that.

So...what does it mean?
Meh =...
...funky accent for "me"?
..."whatever?! Leave me alone"?
...(I can't think of anything to say and grunting doesn't fit the occasion)

I love watching how languages change but the addition of a word is not that big. A word becomes used - it catches on - enough people use it for it to move into general usage. Not a big deal!

I am interested in the topic in general, but the whole apathy tied into the word meh seems to have infected me.
