Copywriters, take note:Apparently, the apathetic expression "Meh" has officially become a word! It has gained a place in the Collins English Dictionary. The term grew in popularity after being used in a 2001 episode of The Simpsons. (The image on the LEFT is my Simpsons avatar - how I'd look if I were on The Simpsons show. You can make your own avatar at The Simpson's web site.)
So if you want to spruce up your copy, sprinkle a few "mehs" here and there. Use in place of the word boring.
(Wondering: is the plural of "meh" indeed "mehs" and is "mehs" an acceptable word? Can adjectives be plural? Hmmm, like "There are too many blues in that layout." I think not - "Too many shades of blue" would be the way to say that. Ah well ...)
Onto things more exciting.
