I love the definition :D

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."

It's all about language change, words go out of usage and age for example "spiffing" and "marvellous" were very popular in the 20s and 30s, but seem to have died out particularly in the past 2 decades, it sounds weird to hear!

Words also change meanings which are added to the dictionary, like "sick" as an adjective meaning nasty as well as a word of praise in slang terms, although I believe that meaning was added to the dictionary, as slang is often eventually accepted.

lol, are you really that offended by it? really? there aren't many credentials for words to get into the dictionary. its all about modern usage, the english language changes. "google" was added because it had an imact on language, people say "google" more than "look up on a search engine." its not like "hai can i request a word i made up for the dictionary?" lol. if its used commonly enough, it's a word.

[leah]

MEHHHHHHHHHH :D

[Agnostic Bear]

"Collins English Dictionary", nobody listens to that crap. Oxford or nothing my friend.
