desiredusername commented on John Hodgman explains what's wrong with "Meh"
Most meh comments I have read in my life have been accompanied by clarification, therefore I do not have a problem with them. I, however have never used it except with very intimate associates in order to prevent any harmful confusion about my meaning. My friends know the contextual truth of meh as I state it. Even then I use it very carefully so as not to trample the nuances that lie between the meh/non-meh binary.

Hodgeman can't tolerate the concept that someone might not give a crap about the irrelevant drivel that has become his schtick. Wow, he's soooo clever. The clever seems to be working out for him, so he's going to keep it up. "Meh" conveys a level of contempt that I feel for Hodgeman's work that silence doesn't capture. Hodgeman is smarter than this.
