Maybe since The Simpsons made up this word, you should probably give them a mention in this article. The Stone Cutter ( talk) 14:31, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
it's Yiddish, you dipwads... current 20something gen soo outta touch w/ the past... meh = 'regarded as a verbal equivalent of a shrug of the shoulders'. so what's new? 2602:304:CDAF:A3D0:3DA9:58C9:16FE:C34E ( talk) 03:15, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
Sorry, should have posted this earlier.
I recreated this article, as I noted here, because I felt that the article I created passed WP:V and was more than a dictionary definition, which (presumably) the articles deleted at VfD did not. -- Dweller ( talk) 10:34, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

"This, of course, is utter nonsense. Everyone knows that "meh" has been in common use in Dundee for generations, almost always accompanied by the word "peh"."
My Grandfather was from Dundee, and it's not funny. How long is this attempt at humour going to remain embedded in this page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.104.135.68 ( talk) 23:11, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
John Hodgman on 'Meh'. I would guess John Hodgman's twitter isn't a reliable enough source for anything (unless quoted in a RS), but I'll note this here for now anyway. -- Quiddity ( talk) 19:22, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
-It may have very well just come from "eh" with sounds very similar and serves the same purpose. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.206.164.182 ( talk) 19:49, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
Just for case (reading this review: http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras/nikon-coolpix-a-black/4505-6501_7-35626828.html?tag=nl.e725&s_cid=e725&ttag=e725) I stepped in this word and was wondering what it would be mean. What the surprise by discovering that it seems to be just the glorious Italian 'mah' (wel, miswritten to fit the foolish English misuse of the phonemas) that I'm explaining all around the world by decades with it's sibling 'bah'! I don't like to bore anyone here and now explaining carefully (and without the necessary 'way of speaking it out') the so funny but also wise and deeper meaning of this expression, a distillate, better a CONDENSATE of centuries communication skills which resembles a (real!) balsamic vinagre 120 years old but, if someone wit good will, would like to go deeper in it and would believe, like me, that probably the Sympsons themselves resounded something funny heard during an Italian journey and enjoying the significance of these soooooo useful words which adds a bit of humor to a.. 'polite judgment'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GianMarco Tavazzani ( talk • contribs) 13:57, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
Meh is a corruption of the Italian expression "ma"; there is no need for an 'h' at the end in Italian. Ma has the same meaning and sentiment as meh. 1.125.110.41 ( talk) 02:16, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
The word 'Meh' used in Jame Joyce's Ulysses (p 152 in Wordsworth Classics version, ISBN 9781840226355) is not the same as this word. Bloom's internal monologue used 'meh' merely to describe the sounds of the cattle he was considering. "... Moo. Poor trembling calves. Meh. Staggering Bob . . . ".
