What part of speech is "meh"? |
|
I tend to use it as an adjective, but I have a friend who insists it's an interjection.
What do you use "meh" as?

3. meh...I think it's an interjection. |
|
But I can see it being used in adjective form, as in, "God, I'm feeling so...meh."

4. It has multiple usages. |
|
Adjective: "The fajitas at Roberto's #5 are fantastic, but the ones at Chi-Chi's are just 'meh'."
Interjection: "Whaddya think about dinner from Rubio's tonight?" "Meh."

When Reginald was home with flu, uh-huh-huh, The doctor knew just what to do-hoo. He cured the infection With one small injection While Reginald uttered some interjections..
Hey! That smarts! Ouch! That hurts! Yow! That's not fair givin' a guy a shot down there!
Interjections (Hey!) show excitement (Yow!) or emotion (Ouch!). They're generally set apart from a sentence by an exclamation point, Or by a comma when the feeling's not as strong.
Though Geraldine played hard to get, uh-huh-huh Geraldo knew he'd woo her ye-het He showed his affection Despite her objections And Geraldine hollered some interjections...
Well! You've got some nerve! Oh! I've never been so insulted in all my life! Hey! You're kinda cute!
Interjections (Well!) show excitement (Oh!) or emotion (Hey!). They're generally set apart from a sentence by an exclamation point, Or by a comma when the feeling's not as strong.
So when you're happy (Hurray!) or sad (Aw!) Or frightened (Eeeeeek!) or mad (Rats!) Or excited (Wow!) or glad (Hey!) An interjection starts a sentence right.
The game was tied at seven all, uh-huh-huh, When Franklin found he had the ba-hall. He made a connection In the other direction, And the crowd starting shouting out interjections...
Aw! You threw the wrong way! Darn! You just lost the game! Hurray! I'm for the other team!

Interjections show excitement or emotion, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah... YEA!
