What exactly is the difference between 'MEH' and 'EH'. Don't they essentially express the same emotional response to what someone says to you while you instantly message each other? Are they like 'BETA' and 'VHS' or 'BLUE RAY' and 'HD'? Is one just going to go away eventually? I know the picture has NOTHING to do with the post but I just dig the way this crazy llama does his hair. He's a bad boy and he just don't care. Drives the girl llamas crazy down on the ranch.

I think with "meh" you pull a face and with "eh" you just shrug.
My job here is done, thank you thank you...Hey did you just Meh me?
Can't you just shrug and make a face with either? See..not that easy to clarify is it, smartypants?
*Hangs head*
Cal is right again, this is why he's so cool! :)
I thought "Meh" meant "whatever" (remember to drag out the r so it's long) or don't care and "Eh" meant you're hard of hearing. lol
"Meh" DOES seem a little more like "duh", meant to make you look stupid. I think. "Eh" is more lack of words. But jeez, I don't know this stuff! I like at least a little bit of correct grammar and correct sentences in hte online language.
Awesome blog, by the way! Found it via Mykal. Have to follow it now!
That llama is totally admirable.
I always took "meh" to be like "not great, but not horrible" whereas "eh" is "not great, bad".
"Meh" is iffy, or indifferent, or OK, or bland, or "whatever." EH is so much more versatile! It can mean all kinds of things depending on context, tone, body language...
I think to truly understand the word "Meh" you should read John Hodgman's take (he's the nerdy "PC" from the Mac commercials).
