<P>At least someone is excited about "meh".</p> <P>The expression of indifference or boredom has gained a place in the 
<EM>Collins English Dictionary</EM> after generating a surprising amount of 
enthusiasm among lexicographers.</p> <P>Publisher HarperCollins announced on Monday the word had been chosen from 
terms suggested by the public for inclusion in the dictionary's 30th anniversary 
edition, to be published next year.</p> <P>The origins of "meh" are murky, but the term grew in popularity after being 
used in a 2001 episode of <EM>The Simpsons</EM> in which Homer suggests a day 
trip to his children Bart and Lisa.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/meh--the-really-boring-buzz-word/2008/11/17/1226770336183.html"><P>The dictionary defines "meh" as an expression of indifference or boredom, or an adjective meaning mediocre or boring.
