Ok, that last part about Websters was just a tease. But the first part is absolutely true.
Sometimes we need to step back from the crazy world and looks at tid bits of news that won't have any diplomatic effect, but make us smile on an otherwise boring day.
So, how is your day going? If your answer is "meh" that is totally acceptable.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports that "meh" meaning indifference or boredom officially gained a place in the Collins English Dictionary after generating a surprising amount of enthusiasm among lexiographers.
The Herald goes on to state:
"The origins of "meh" are murky, but the term grew in popularity after being used in a 2001 episode of The Simpsons in which Homer suggests a day trip to his children Bart and Lisa."They both just reply 'meh' and keep watching TV," said Cormac McKeown, head of content at Collins Dictionaries. The dictionary defines "meh" as an expression of indifference or boredom, or an adjective meaning mediocre or boring. Examples given by the dictionary include "the Canadian election was so meh"."
I love that they actually used that last example in the dictionary. The Canadian election wasn't "meh" as much as it was a HUGE waste of time and money. Damn, can I ever write a post without slipping in some kind of political banter. Silly me.
