Okay, what the heck does that mean?? I see moms write it in their responses, but it's in lower case letters, so I assume it's not an acronym........

What does "meh" mean???

Thanks!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thanks, Denise! I have never heard that before! I thought perhaps it was a local cultural thing.

I know you already got responses but I just had to add my two cents!! I absolutely HATE this word!!! My kids (16 & 13) started using it on me when they want to say "maybe" or "whatever." Well, I told them I don't want that used on me because I deserve a WHOLE word!!! I'm worth at least that much!! Now when it accidentally slips out they just quickly say the whole word, apolgogize and then we laugh about it. But I still HATE that word!!!! And don't even get me started on IDK (I don't know)!!!! ha! ha!

I never had someone tell it to M. directly but I hate that word. It sounds so indifferent (just like it should mean) I like 'whatever' better.:)
