  • Big Day For A Little Word - 'Meh' Is Added To The Dictionary
    The origins of "meh" are murky, but the term grew in popularity after being used in a 2001 episode of "The Simpsons" in which Homer suggests a day trip to his children Bart and Lisa.
  • Why Apple Will Never Permit Adobe Flash on the iPhone
