Meh

via MSNBC

"Meh," the expression of indifference made popular by a 2001 episode of The Simpsons, gained a place in the Collins English Dictionary. Publisher HarperCollins announced Monday that the word have been chosen from terms suggested by the public for inclusion in the dictionary's 30th anniversary edition. We here at Shanks and Praise are not sure which is stranger, that "meh," the apathetic anti-rallying cry mustered the enthusiasm needed to win a popular vote, or that it beat out "huggles," the happy hybrid of hug and snuggles also under consideration by Collins. Its a sad sign of the times my friends. I, for one, am all about the huggles.
