meh

I'm loving meh!

Someone should tell uselessness he can unthumbup a word in Pandora... just clicking on "edit this (stupid) station".

That sounds (smells, I want to say! seems) to me like the English gesture for so-so. If the hand turns on the wrist as if one is playing a tremolo on two fairly far-apart piano keys.

Italians have a gesture for that: palm open, facing down, and jiggle the hand a bit. Perfect visual meh. Maybe you could turn it into a graphic. :-)

Haha, I'm listening to Pandora right now and was just thinking the same thing! Or more specifically, I'd like a way to un-thumbs-up a song if I change my mind and decide it's not so great after all, but don't want to thumbs-down it either.

"OK, Pandora needs a "meh" button, too, not just "I don't like it" and "I love it". Maybe that would muddy the waters."

seanahan, if you'd like to hear it used verbally more than once, go here.
:-)

Yep, so was I, c_b. :-)

I'm not so sure of the Yiddish aspect, or of the Simpsons origin, since I quote the Simpsons as much as anyone. It is definitely an internet word, and I've only heard it used verbally once.

The sheep where I work use it all the time. ;) I suspect kenspeckle was joking, though, reesetee.

I didn't, kenspeckle. I remember using this when the Web was still in diapers. ;-)

Apparently this word is only for web folks. Who knew?
