Etymology
The term 'meh' emerged from the Yiddish language, where it signifies indifference or lack of enthusiasm. Its use became more prevalent in popular culture in the late 20th century, particularly through the television show 'The Simpsons', where characters would often use it to express displeasure or apathy. The expression was further cemented in the early 2000s with the rise of internet culture and online forums, where it was commonly used in discussions to denote a lack of interest or low opinion of something. As a colloquial term, 'meh' has been embraced by younger generations, becoming a staple in texting language and casual conversations, reflecting a common sentiment of disinterest in an increasingly fast-paced world.
